USCGC Dauntless in Dry Dock 1

Most of the Brooklyn Navy Yard has been turned into tech and industry, but there are still six working dry docks operated by GMD Shipyard. Dry Dock 1 is the oldest in the yard, completed in 1851, and has a viewing platform by it, allowing a close-up look at it, if you can get into the premises. The USCGC Dauntless was docked there for several weeks, being refurbished. This cutter was commissioned in 1968.






























This view was my first attempt. Actually, this was my third attempt, after abandoning two initial tries. The proportions of it are all off, but at that point I was moving on.































Much better with this attempt, as viewed from a gap in the fence!































The mast.

Work was completed on the USCGC Dauntless and it set sail about a week or two ago.
