East Coast Memorial
Eight granite pylons and a bronze eagle face the harbor, commemorating American service members lost in Atlantic waters during World War II.
Why go
Pause here before an island ferry to connect the harbor view with the wartime maritime history it commemorates. The names on the pylons, central eagle, and alignment toward the Statue of Liberty make this a distinct, contemplative stop within The Battery.
What to look for
Eight inscribed granite pylons
Bronze eagle oriented toward the harbor
