Stop one on my October cemeteries of New York tour is the Naval Cemetery Landscape in Brooklyn, hidden beneath the BQE.
The Brooklyn Naval Hospital Cemetery was active from 1831 to 1910 and was the burial site for more than 2,000 people, most of them officers and enlisted men of the US Navy and Marine Corps. Among those buried were two Congressional Medal of Honor winners, a Fijian Chief and individuals from more than 20 different countries. It is estimated that roughly 10% of all the servicemembers buried at the site were of African descent.
The cemetery has since been turned into a beautiful park, and meditation space.
