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. ';

var str = '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';
