About 1957 my class had to do an essay on Brooklyns part in our navel history. I went to the Navy yard and was given a tour of the facilities-pretty cool at the time for a 13 year old.
I got a not to frequent "A" for my essay:)
The battle of Long Island was fought on the Brooklyn Hgts at what is now Prospect Park, more of a delaying action as the Continental Army made a retreat from superior British forces.
In Ft Greene Park there is a big monument everyone must have seen, it is dedicated to more than 10,000 US prisoners of war that died while confined on British prison ships like the HMS New Jersey moored in Wallabout Bay, it is located between Manhatten and Brooklyn near what was the sight of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. More soldiers died on theses ships than from all the battles of the Revolutionary War.
