Why go

Two winglike walls create a quiet space for reading names and remembering individual lives against the harbor where the attack’s skyline was visible. Its Staten Island perspective differs from the large memorial plaza in Manhattan: here the water and ferry route remain part of the experience. The site also connects a local community’s loss with the broader history of the harbor.

What to look for

  • Waterfront memorial to Staten Islanders killed in the World Trade Center attacks

Useful to know

  • Allow about 25 minutes for the core visit.
  • Check the official source for current hours or access before setting out.
  • Use the St. George esplanade beside FerryHawks stadium, northwest of the ferry terminal. Confirm the approach on site during esplanade works.
