    So interesting. Let's hope it finds the home it deserves.

    Had to look up where the Brooklyn Naval Yard was located. Here's an early (1918) aerial photograph. Funny to think that... That Daguerreotype looks so olde tyme-y (top hats!) but at the time those men were creating cutting edge technology.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I've been getting a lot of emails lately from the auction house that is selling the daguerreotype (Fleischer's Auctions). They must have a large mailing list. I've rarely bid on online auctions. The daguerreotype should do well!

    A loving and well-heeled home, and especially nice if a public museum got it -Center For Brooklyn History or Brooklyn Historical Society might be nice.
