Brooklyn Navy Yard employment records

Martin Doyle

My grandfather, Walter T. Doyle, Serial # 131 88 07, was a member of the US Navy from April 21, 1917 thru Oct. 27, 1919. He then worked in the Brooklyn Navy Yard from 1919 possibly thru the 1960s. Is there any source to verify if and when he worked at the Navy Yard, and what he did there? (Per census records, his occupation was listed as a rivet heater and a corker).

Thank you for any assistance.

    Andrew -

    Where are the copies of The Shipworker kept? I would like to do a deeper dive on them, if possible.

    And how is the tour? I am going to go to brooklyn to visit Holy Cross Cemetery, some churches, Brooklyn College, Erasmus Hall, looking for family history information.

    Since a lot of my family lived in the late 1800s - early 1900s in and around the Navy Yard and Fort Green, I may go there, too.

    Thanks.
