Titanic Memorial (New York City)

Titanic Memorial (New York City)

The Titanic Memorial is a 60-foot tall lighthouse built, due in part to the instigation of Margaret Brown, to remember the people who died on the "RMS Titanic" on April 15, 1912. After moving several times, it is currently located at the entrance to the South Street Seaport on the corner of Fulton and Pearl Streets in Lower Manhattan [ [http://www.lighthousemuseum.org/nylights/titanic.htm Official Site] ] .

Straus Park, six miles away, is another Titanic memorial.
