Do You Know Chauncey Street?

Unlike most military heros with streets named after them in Brooklyn, Isaac Chauncey had a connection to Brooklyn. After time spent in naval operations in China and the Mediterranean, Chauncey returned to the United States to take command of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. He remained there until the War of 1812. Chauncey later returned to Brooklyn to once again direct the Brooklyn Navy Yard, this time for nearly a decade.

Now you know Chauncey Street.
