var str = '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. ';

The statue stands in front of a large granite Celtic cross and actually faces towards the priest’s old church, Holy Cross at 237 West 42nd Street. Born in Canada, Duffy moved to New York in the last 1800s and was ordained as a priest in 1898. He served as the chaplain for the Fighting 69th Infantry of the National Guard from New York where he served in first in the Spanish-American War and then a military hospital on Long Island before moving to the Bronx as a parish priest. During World War I, he returned to the 69th and served with them in Europe where he earned numerous medals including the Distinguished Service Cross, the Legion of Honor and the Croix de Guerre. When he returned to New York after the war, he became pastor of Holy Cross. After his death in 1932, the city named the new park at this location in his honor in 1934 and the memorial, designed by Charles Keck, was dedicated in 1937. The Memorial is now in the center of a major tourist destination.';
