Archival footage of a scuba exploration of a sunken ship gives way to scenes that explore the working rhythms of the current Brooklyn Navy Yard as well as conjuring and imagining ghosts of past technologies and characters. The film summons both the immediacy of the here and now and the persistence of history : a moving palimpsest that forces fragments of the past to mingle with the sights and sounds of the present unfolding. Viewers dive under the surface of water, watch earth being moved, see wisps of smoke in the sky.
