Since 2007, BHS and BNYDC have partnered on an oral history project documenting the important work that happens in the Navy Yard. We are currently interviewing people who worked in they Yard in the 1950s and 1960s and for any of the private shipbuilders after the 1966 decommissioning.
You can listen to some clips from WWII-era interviews here. And to suggest someone we should interview please contact the BHS Oral History Program.
