Summary
| Description | The Prison Ship Martyrs' Monument was built in 1906-09 and was designed by Stanford White of McKim, Mead and White, with sculptures by Adolph Alexander Weinman. The Doric column topped by a bronze brazier commemorates the 11,500 American prisoners who died aboard 11 British prison ships anchored in Wallabout Bay from 1776-83, during the American Revolutionary War. The brazier, sculpted by Weinman, is 148 feet above the ground and once had an eternal flame. The monument is located at the center of Fort Greene Park within the Fort Greene Historic District. (Sources: AIA Guide to NYC (5th ed.) and Guide to NYC Landmarks (4th ed.)) This image shows the Weinman's brazier at top, from the southwest. |
