Gotham Gazette's Rebuilding NYC Slideshow:
East Coast Memorial

 

The Battery Park City area is home to an "astounding array of memorials in modern styles," said Morrone.

The eight 19-foot granite blocks of the East Coast Memorial (pictured) at the southern end of Battery Park include the names, rank, organization and state of the 4,601 American servicemen who died in the Atlantic Ocean during World War II. The memorial was dedicated in 1963.
