Description

City Pier A is a municipal pier in the Hudson River at Battery Park near the southern end of Manhattan in New York City. It has also been named Liberty Gateway.

In 1991, the American Merchant Mariners' Memorial was installed near this location. Designed by the sculptor Marisol Escobar, this memorial is located just south of Pier A on a rebuilt stone breakwater. It is a representation in bronze of four merchant seamen with their sinking vessel after it had been attacked by a U-boat in World War II. The design includes one of the seamen in the water, submerged with each high tide. The memorial was commissioned by the American Merchant Mariners' Memorial, Inc., chaired by Lane Kirkland, and was dedicated on 8 October 1991.
