Description
An account of the resource
This unique marker in Battery Park on the south end of Manhattan honors all those who have served the U.S. as part of the Merchant Marine throughout America’s wars and especially those who lie in unmarked graves in the sea. The memorial sits just offshore on a breakwater and is composed of a group of bronze statues of men who are attempting to survive after their ship was attacked by a German U-boat during World War II; it is based on a photograph taken of an actual event. The sculpture by Marisol Escobar captures an eerie realism as the waves pound the statues and on of the figures who clings on the side of the boat becomes submerged when the tide comes in. The men depicted here did not actually survive the incident. A bronze plaque onshore explains the memorial and its history and symbolism.

An account of the resource
In a plaza in Battery Park at the south end of Manhattan and facing the Statue of Liberty is the national World War II monument to those servicemen who lost their lives in combat in the Atlantic Ocean and who are missing at sea. The plaza consists of eight large granite pylons on which the names of 4,601 missing servicemen are inscribed. These pylons sit four to a side and in between is a sculpture of a large bronze eagle holding a laurel wreath over a wave. The bronze plaque on the statue indicates this Memorial honors not only the lost servicemen but also the 6, 185 Merchant Mariners and 529 members of the US Army Transport Service who were lost during the war. Commissioned by the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) which oversees the Memorial, the plaza was designed by architect Paul Cret Harbeson and the statue was sculpted by Albino Manca. President John F. Kennedy dedicated the memorial on May 23, 1963

Description
An account of the resource
As the centerpiece of the Grand Army Plaza on the southeast corner of Central Park, this large gilded bronze equestrian statue of General William Tecumseh Sherman was the last major work of sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. General Sherman graduated from West Point and rose to fame in the Civil War where he had a leading role in the defeat of the Confederacy. Sherman died in New York in 1891 and many of his friends in the Chamber of Commerce commissioned a statue of him for the city. Sherman’s figure on the horse is being led by an allegorical female figure representing peace; an African American woman from Georgia, Harriette Eugenia Anderson served as the model for the figure. At the feet of Sherman’s horse is a pine branch representing his march through Georgia. The sculpture rests on a large granite pedestal with three bronze wreaths on each side.

Description
An account of the resource
This bronze equestrian statue of Simon Bolivar, liberator of much of South America from Spanish control, resides on the south end of Central Park on a black granite pedestal. It was donated by the government of Venezuela and sculpted by Sally Jane Farnham who won an international competition. An earlier statue of Bolivar in Central Park had ben removed after much criticism. President Warren G. Harding spoke at the dedication of the statue at Bolivar Hill near West 83rd Street on April 19, 1921. In 1946 Sixth Avenue was renamed Avenue of the Americas and a new plaza was created where it meets Central Park; the statue was moved to the new plaza designed to honor Pan-American heroes and would be joined by additional monuments. The memorial sites his role in liberating Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Columbia, and Bolivia.

Description
An account of the resource
The New York City memorial to the Vietnam War and its veterans is located in what was once known as Jeanette Park (named for the flagship of failed Arctic Expedition in the late 1800s). The Plaza was renamed in 1982 and the Memorial placed here. The centerpiece of the plaza is a large wall of glass blocks onto which are inscribed poems, letters and diary entries written by the veterans themselves; at the base of the wall is a granite shelf. This part of the plaza was designed by Peter Wormser and Williams Fellows (architects) and writer/veteran Joseph Ferrandino. In 2001 extensive renovations enhanced the plaza with a new entrance and landscaping as well as more information. The plaza includes a walkway of granite pylons with bronze plaques containing the inscribed the names of all 1, 741 U.S. military personnel from New York City who are listed as killed in action, missing in action or prisoners of war from the conflict in Vietnam from 1957-1975. There is also a large flat steel map of Vietnam that includes sites of battles. The memorial plaza was dedicated on May 4, 1985 and then again on November 9, 2001 when it was redesigned.
