The section Ted referred to starts around Atlantic Avenue and heads north into Brooklyn Heights, just past the Brooklyn Bridge. It is now the centerpiece of the new waterfront development in our area that includes a soccer field, volleyball courts, restaurants, basketball courts, and is still being built at this time.

We indeed went there with Ted and Charlotte just about a month ago. The Statue of Liberty is clearly visible from that end of the old Navy Yard, as well as both Ellis Island and Governor's Island. That said, it's a bit of a stretch to say the SOL is in the background on the Burch card, but you never know. The statue celebrated its 25th anniversary in May, 1908, so the timing is about right.
