Biographical note

Gene T. Condrill was employed at the New York Naval Shipyard in Brooklyn, N.Y. for over 20 years in the mid-20th century. Condrill worked as a sheetmetal worker, leadingman, and ship progressman throughout his career. He was a member of the Sheet Metal Workers' International Association. Condrill lived on Hoyt Street in Brooklyn.

Historical note

The origins of the Brooklyn Navy Yard (officially known as the New York Naval Shipyard) date back to 1801, when the United States Navy acquired what had previously been a small, privately owned shipyard in order to construct naval vessels. By the time the Department of Defense ceased shipbuilding activities at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in 1966, 88 vessels had been manufactured at the facility. In 1967, the Brooklyn Navy Yard was acquired by the City of New York and was converted for private commercial use.
