    Erected a year after the disaster, this 60-foot lighthouse was the first ever monument to those lost in the Titanic. It was built at the insistence of Molly Brown, a survivor of the sinking and was funded by public donations. To this day, it remains the only public memorial dedicated to all those who died in the disaster (other monuments commemorate individual victims, nationalities or professions). It originally stood beside the East River, atop the 13-storey Seaman’s Church Institute, but was moved to its current location in 1976. A small β€˜park’ was created around it. The lighthouse is faded and peeling; its time ball (which used to drop down the pole at twelve noon each day) stopped working in 1967; and the garden is full of weeds. Whilst it does not warrant travelling a great distance unless you are a Titanic fan, it is worth a quick stop if you are in the South Street area, perhaps visiting the maritime museum with its historic ships or one of the many restaurants and bars.

    It may be titanic memorial but I almost did missed it. The memorial notes are written in small letters and nothing more. I did like the small park but I may have expected more. It’s simple but seems like nobody knows about it which is sad since it did left an impression of related more for the museum than the titanic due to big lettering (see the pictures and you get what I mean).

    Great place to visit, specially at night. The view is incredible from the pier with all the skyscrapers and the Brooklyn bridge.

    This is a nice little spot to grab a seat and relax for a few minutes before or after visiting the South Street Seaport. I sat here with a friend for a nice, long conversation on a recent evening after a concert at Pier 17. It's safe, and usually derelict-free. The M15 bus stops a few yards away, and that route travels up the east side of Manhattan; it connects to all the other major lines in town. If you are visiting our city, I would first and foremost like to thank you for choosing my hometown in which to spend your time, and your hard-earned money. I suggest you avoid the expensive tourist bus lines - they all go to the same tried-and-true destinations you can see on TV, and you will waste valuable exploring time waiting for them to circle back to your part of the loop. I heartily recommend using MTA busses to get around, as it's a great way to see the city, and you will find unexpected places of interest during your travels. If you are going to a specific stop and are unsure of where or how far it may be, ask a fellow passenger, or ask your bus driver to alert you when it's your destination - just remember to listen for their call! Remember: most REAL New Yorkers (natives and long-time residents) are always happy to help others enjoy their hometown. We don't bite. Well, unless you stop at the top or bottom of the subway stairs to check your phone. Then we might bite a little. 🀏 πŸ™„ Enjoy your visit!

    For a memorial.. you could walk by and miss that it is even there. We walked specifically to find this and were slightly disappointed. It’s a very nice seating area I.e benches and flower beds with a lighthouse which apparently is the memorial.. but instead has big writing on it for the nearby museum. Look closely though and there is a plaque which confirms it is indeed for Titanic as well as the history of the lighthouse.

    Boy, you live a place your entire life, and you still find places you haven't been too. The Titanic was enroute to New York City, and would've docked on the West Side at Pier 59. This is not near there at all, but it is a chill place to hang with an old timey nautical theme. From here it's a short walk to China Town, or even closer to the South Street Sea Port and East River walkway.

    Small Informative plaque on memorial lighthouse. The area is chock full of bars and restaurants so nightlife is abundant. Just south and almost under the Brooklyn bridge.

    Unassuming park and memorial in the financial district. Close to the Brooklyn Bridge too. Cute little neighborhood. Worth it for any Titanic fan.

    Small sliver of history in the middle of the Fulton Street pedestrian / shopping / dining area. Blink and you'll miss it. There's a small plaque on the side of the lighthouse that tells a little of the story of how a lighthouse ended up on the side of a main street. Relevance to the Titanic disaster itself seems low, though.

    I am afraid this memorial has lost its glory. If you pass by and notice it, take a picture.

    Save your money ! the worst attraction in New York . It’s like someone said …. β€œhey let’s start a titanic exhibit in two weeks , where do I start ? They have two toilets in the entire exhibit and they are disgusting. The bathroom line was 13 people deep. No toilet paper at 5:45 this evening . Headphones broke 3 times during our walk. Had to go back to the very front and the staff could care less . 90% of the tour is standing in front of photographs while listening to a narrator . (If you want to visit a real titanic museum visit the one on Las Vegas . ) I hope this helps someone save 2 hours of their day .

    This park is evidence in my grandmother's homicide, Elizabeth Levendosky from Richmond County Staten Island NY in 1972 because her alias was Elizabeth Tutor and she was on the vessel when it hit the iceberg and sank and she made it to America. I have a domestic treaty with her with the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star when I was 5 years old and I made the allegations in her homicide
