Get Brook­lyn Navy Yard-made PPE for your Gov­er­nors Island vis­it at these vend­ing machines

Oct 7, 2020 2:18 pm

This year, we’re requir­ing vis­i­tors to wear face cov­er­ings at all times while board­ing and rid­ing our fer­ries and while on the Island when social dis­tanc­ing isn’t pos­si­ble. It’s a breeze to grab some new Per­son­al Pro­tec­tive Equip­ment before board­ing the fer­ry or while you’re on Gov­er­nors Island thanks to two vend­ing machines stocked with Brook­lyn Navy Yard-made materials. 

These two machines, one locat­ed in the lob­by of the Bat­tery Mar­itime Build­ing in Man­hat­tan and the oth­er in Liggett Arch­way on the Island, car­ry a vari­ety of face cov­er­ings and hand san­i­tiz­ers. Besides the styl­ish Gov­er­nors Island ban­dana, all of these PPE offer­ings are made by com­pa­nies based in the Brook­lyn Navy Yard. 

These easy-to-use machines offer masks by Accu­rate Knit­ting, Amer­i­can Heir­loom, Atoms, Crye Pre­ci­sion, Engraved Signs, Fydeli­ty Bags, Rebel Designs, Stitch, and Tracey Tan­ner that come in dif­fer­ent styles and designs. You can also grab a Gov­er­nors Island ban­dana with a fun fer­ry pat­tern (or if you aren’t vis­it­ing soon, pick one up in our online store) that dou­bles as a great face covering. 

Once you’ve got your face cov­er­ing, keep your hands clean dur­ing your vis­it with hand san­i­tiz­er gel by Scully’s, Kings Coun­ty Dis­tillery, and Eco­log­ics, or with Ecologic’s hand san­i­tiz­ing spray. 

Thanks to these vend­ing machines, stock­ing up or re-stock­ing on PPE is a snap before or dur­ing your vis­it. Read more about man­u­fac­tur­ing at the Navy Yard here, and pay a vis­it to the vend­ing machines to grab some qual­i­ty, Brook­lyn-made PPE.
