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. ';
