Brooklyn Navy Yard
November 18 2006
In this interview, Sidonia speaks about how she came to work at the Brooklyn Navy Yard after 
spending some time at Western Electric. She mentions that she did very well on the Navy Yard test, on which she received the 15th best score out of 500 participants. Sidonia discusses the camaraderie on the Yard and the lasting friendships she made with the women she worked with in Building 4. She also details her job of converting blueprints into wooden templates and 
attending extra schooling at the Pratt Institute. Sidonia describes her visit to the Navy Yard in the 1990s as “sterile” compared to the liveliness of the atmosphere while she worked there.
