var str = 'Within the grounds of Fort Greene Park, a one hundred- and forty-nine-foot-tall Doric granite column sits atop a large crypt holding the remains of 11,500 prisoners who died on British prison ships anchored at Wallabout Bay during the American Revolution. The prisoners died from overcrowding and disease in poor conditions and originally were hastily buried along the shore. The patriots, both male and female and representing all thirteen colonies, were reinterred in 1808 in a tomb on Jackson Street near the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The high ground that had originally been constructed as Fort Putnam became a public park in the mid-1800s and was renamed for General Nathaniel Greene. In 1873 the prisoner remains were moved to a new 25x11 foot vault at this location although only twenty-two boxes of remains were entombed. In 1905 Stanford White of the renowned architectural firm McKim, Mead and White designed a grand 100-foot-wide granite staircase leading to the vault and the column crowned with a bronze lantern was placed at the peak. President William Howard Taft dedicated the new column in 1908. ';
