             The experience at the Brooklyn Navy Yard is one that many would not forget. Especially those who are from the New York City area, it is refreshing to see things that uplifts, contributes in bringing something positive to the community and also everyone together. For an area, that represents so much history and business' that are creating the next big thing, to be located in Brooklyn which most believe is too urban for their liking, just shows how society is now is changing for the better. You get to see how things were before your time and where society is heading for now. eum and over 7,000 workers a day. This building represents much more than a worksite for those 7,000 workers, to me it represents how society changed in the present and how future generations will be living about. The Brooklyn Navy Yard represents what it was like in the past, how it is today in the present and what to look forward to in the future. .
             Many people from all over the world come to New York to experience the city life and the fast pace movement in Manhattan but also come to see the Brooklyn Navy Yard. At the Brooklyn Navy Yard, especially Building 92, you experience what the past must have been like and how it was the foundation of what things are like today in the present. Seeing the history of an area that I grew up around, yet not knowing much about, really was an eye opener. .
             The Brooklyn Navy Yard is 300-acre industrial park is located between Williamsburg and the Manhattan Bridges and sits on Wallabout Bay. When I state that is represents the past, it is because of the different things that occurred for it to be such a success today. In the past, women working were not very common especially in a male dominated work force. But we learned during the tour how women had began to work in the Yard and face many challenges such as not being wanted by the male workers or just not having a bathroom that was dedicated just for them.
