As we wandered through Battery Park, we stumbled on the East Coast Memorial which faces the Statue of Liberty. This memorial honors the 4,601 missing American servicemen who lost their lives in the Atlantic Ocean while engaged in combat during World War II and there is nothing like a memorial to make you take stock of how fortunate we are in the 21st century. Designed by the architectural firm of Gehron and Seltzer, the monument consists of a large, paved plaza punctuated by eight massive 19-foot tall gray granite pylons (four each on the southern and northern sides) onto which are inscribed the names, rank, organization and state of each of the deceased. This place took my breath away and I had a tear in my eye. So many have given their lives before us. And architecturally, this is a stunning piece paying homage to so many. Note: Please be respectful when you visit this memorial. Nothing worse than people taking cheesey selfies with two fingers in the air (peace sign). Be humbled by the loss of these lives.

The East Coast Memorial is a historical landmark and is located on the Southern end of Battery Park, New York, NY. It’s a plaza with inscribed pillars honoring the 4,601 American servicemen who died in the Atlantic in World War II. It is open everyday from 6:00 am to 1:00 am. This I found walking before going to work one morning. It’s history. The plaza is a great place to enjoy the fresh air near the waterfront. It’s a great place for a nice quiet walk or just sit around to meditate.

The World War II East Coast Memorial is located in Battery Park, New York City. This memorial commemorates those soldiers, sailors, Marines, coast guardsmen, merchant mariners and airmen who met their deaths in the service of their country in the western waters of the Atlantic Ocean during World War II. Its axis is oriented on the Statue of Liberty. On each side of the axis are four gray granite pylons upon which are inscribed the name, rank, organization and state of each of the 4,611 missing in the waters of the Atlantic.

Very stoic and thought-inspiring. Good place to sit for a while and just contemplate things.

A moving monument to those lost during WW II. Well worth a visit if you're in the area. Maybe you can find the name of someone you knew. I did. There are nearby facilities in the park. #accessible #letsguide

What a magnificent memorial with perfect views of the statue of liberty. We came here foe views of the statue, which were amazing. There is plenty of viewing room and away from the immense line of people going over to the island. We couldn't justify it, seeing as as soon as you get up close you miss so much. This memorial was an extra that we didn't know existed! Go see it.

Great memorial for all of those who had fallen in WWII with a great view of the statue of liberty. An extremely lovely place to stop and reflect and read all of the names and look out towards the Statue of Liberty. Very powerful.

East Coast Memorial is located in Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan. It is erected in memory of US soldiers fallen at sea during World War II. The memorial is solemn and spiritual in its simplicity. A beautiful site, surrounded by the sea, the skyscrapers and trees of Battery Park. Especially beautiful at sunset.

Beautiful place at Battery Park that honors the 4609 Americans lost in the sea during WW2. Just to the left of the Castle Clinton, that was originally called the West Battery, it was built as a fort just prior to the War of 1812. You have a total of 4,609 names are inscribed on both sides of eight 19-foot-tall granite pylons. The pylons are arranged in two rows of four each. Between the two rows stands a bronze statue of an eagle, erected on a black granite pedestal. The eagle faces the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. The memorial was designed by the architectural firm of Gehron & Seltzer, while the eagle statue was created by Albino Manca, an Italian-born sculptor. The granite slabs were set up in October 1959, the sculpture was installed in February 1963, and the memorial was dedicated by President John F. Kennedy in May of that year.

We walked through after we got off the Statue of Liberty ferry. Looked nice and there were a couple dudes doing photo ops with pythons.

This could be your go to place if you want to see Statue of Liberty without taking a cruise. The place was clean and well maintained. Apart from the good view of the sea and the city you can take a cruise from nearby Staten Island ferry terminal. The closest public restroom to this place is in Staten Island ferry terminal. You can also find options for food and snacks at walking distance from here. The place was little busy as people from the cruise to Statue of Liberty get down here. A word of caution, you can find a lot of caricature artists who will promise you to make your caricature in 15$ or so.. however they will not be willing to provide you with portrait unless you pay extra 25$ for the frame/cover. They will ask for cash. I advise ask for details before you go for it. Not a problem to earn, dishonest approach was something I didn’t like.

Wonderful Memorial to those who died at sea in WWII.

It was extremely enjoyable, although there was a heavy crowd at the nearby ferry to the Statue of Liberty, she herself was able to be seen from the memorial leaving beautiful sights in both directions and the opportunity to sit down and watch the waves or see the names of honored men and women in the memorial.

Great spot to check out.

Haunting, and very American in style, with the gloriously huge Art Deco style eagle swooping from above to grasp the Laurel Wreath, a symbol of triumph tempered by monolithic monuments naming the cost with a sea of lost.

Beautiful memorial. Only wish that the city would not allow merchants, and entertainers to set up shop in the middle of it. It is disrespectful for those trying to pay respects to their fallen family member.

Enjoyed walking around Battery Park, and visiting Ellis Island via the ferry. While the weather wasn't "perfect" or sunny, I still caught a picture of the eagle statue from underneath it, looking up at the stormy sky, and loved how it came out.

/ ERECTED BY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA / IN PROUD AND GRATEFUL REMEMBRANCE / OF HER SONS / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN HER SERVICE/ AND WHO SLEEP IN THE AMERICAN COASTAL WATER / OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN / INTO THY HANDS, O LORD you must see this.

A place to reflect on the sacrifices of those who served our country.

We had quick run through, defiantly good place to visit when weather is worm!

If you pass by this memorial by take a few moments to bow your head because it’s a reminder of those who died in an awful war for freedom. Looking out to the seas knowing many lost their lives to defeat evil should take up a little of your time.

Impressive memorial of 4,601 deceased in the Atlantic Ocean during World War II. It consists of a bronze eagle (sculpted by Albino Manca) and eight granite pylons with the names and some more details of all these soldiers inscribed on them. The eagle stands on a wave and holds a laurel wreath in its claws, which symbolises mourning over the dead resting in peace in the water. The pylons, on the other hand, supposedly have their axis aligned with the Statue of Liberty. East Coast Memorial, despite of being in a busy spot from which the tourists depart to the Liberty or the Ellis Islands, forces respect and inner silence to honour those who died for freedom and a better world.

Located in beautiful Battery Park, make sure you check this memorial out. This memorial honors the 4601 missing Americans who were lost in the Atlantic Ocean during Ww2.

Is very nice

Great view of the statue and easily accessible by the subway!

Beautiful place to take your kids

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit but was constantly harassed by a sickly individual begging me to kill him. Said something about every cell being infected.

Beautiful WW2 memorial in Battery Park

Incredible memorial to those lost

Awesome sight

Each pillar/column has the names of the war's casualties

Beautiful memorial and eagle sculpture. Nice view of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

Came for a visit as I was sightseeing. Surprised at how cooperative the weather was. Beautiful clear sky with an awesome view. I can totally see myself hanging around here if I lived in town. Very close to a lot of cute food places and plenty of space for people

Beautiful location to watch the sunset!

This is a moving and very powerful Monument. The names of allthe sailorsand soldiers that died in the waters off the east coast during World War Two, are inscribed on the walls around a powerful eagle statue.

This memorial pays tributes to those lost during WWII, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Atlantic Ocean. I think it's an utmost disgrace that they allow street performers to dance and make a noise in the middle of this memorial. However, I do think those men and women who gave their life did so, so they can dance wherever they would like. I just think it's disgraceful and in poor judgment. They don't allow that at the 9-11 memorial. You're not even allowed to run across it. Not sure why we're dancing on a WWII memorial 🤔!

It very good to remember...

Short stop, but worth it. Very moving.

Great place to walk, a lot of shops nearby.

Wonderful!

Impressive memorial for those who fell in World War II. Unfortunately, two points deducted because the monument serves as a sales area (for some handbags...)

Not something you would think to stop at but if you walk through Battery Park (or run like I did), you should check this memorial out. This part of Manhattan has more than its share but this one is one of my favorites. A solemn wall of names inscribed overlooking the water and the Statue of Liberty. Very serene and impacting.

The stones look nice, but thought it was more of a nine eleven monument. Maybe more signs indicating its WWII aspect would be nice.

What a magnificent and majestic honoring of those that Service this Great Country. Men and Women alike. Thank You for the freedom You protect.

This park was beautiful, right in front of a stop of bouts to the statue of liberty 🗽.

Beautiful memorial located on the Battery Park. We saw this on our way back from the Liberty and the Ellis Island.

good place to relax

Great place to get out of the sun and look for names of WW2 heroes from your hometown. Time your visit when the boats are not unloading passengers. The snake guys were very cool.
