Overview
"New York Harbor was both a commercial gateway and a strategic military system. The Brooklyn Navy Yard represents more than a century and a half of shipbuilding, while Floyd Bennett Field shows how a pioneering municipal airport became a wartime naval air station and aircraft-delivery hub. Fort Wadsworth’s layered defenses guarded the Narrows, and the Intrepid Museum brings visitors aboard a carrier that served from World War II through Vietnam. The route spans multiple boroughs and is designed for two days because bridge traffic, security, and large sites make a single-day version unrealistic."
