Aerial photograph of the New York Navy Yard, Brooklyn, New York (USA), taken 9 March 1944. USS Missouri (BB-63) is fitting out in the center. Carrier at the bottom is probably USS Bennington (CV-20).North of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the Hasidic Jews of South Williamsburg are celebrating Rosh Hashanah. Walking west to the waterfront, under the bridge and along Kent Avenue, the broken chain of Brooklyn’s industrial past unfolds.
