something catastrophic had to happen to do this much damage to this thick of safety glass. It originally came from the Brooklyn Navy Yard
History of the Yard
Established in 1801, the Brooklyn Navy Yard served as America's premier naval shipbuilding facility for 165 years, and launched America’s mightiest warships, including the USS Monitor, the USS Arizona, and the USS Missouri. Peak activity occurred during World War II, when some 70,000 people worked at the Yard. The Yard was in continuous operation until 1966, when it was decommissioned and then sold to the City of New York. Today, the spirit of innovation again abounds on the 300-acre site, where business is booming, employment is soaring, and the Yard is undergoing its largest expansion since WWII. This is one of those pieces that you wish it had a voice to hear the stories it could tell especially how that hole got into that glass!
The porthole measures 13 1/2“ x 13 1/2“ x 2“. Everything indicated in photographs. Thanks for taking a look
