A Look at the Old Brooklyn Navy Yard

This book will take the reader into the world of shipbuilding where the working class of Brooklyn built VLCC's Oil Tankers [Super Tankers], Ro-Ro's barges and an Ice Breaker Barge inside the Old Brooklyn Navy Yard against all odds. This in itself might be interesting, but the real story is in: the daily struggle of the workers working in hellish conditions, just trying to make a living, with more than a few giving their lives in some horrible ways building these ships. As my Boss first told me when he hired me "if you can work here you can work any where!" He was not joking! The triangle of passionate dislike between the workers, management, the union [the government in the center of the triangle] are also detailed!You can check out the site by clicking here.
