Harborview Park

A «gift from the people of Russia» the teardrop sculpture was originally offered to Jersey City but was considered too large to place there.
The location and placement of this memorial might be one of the most effective tributes to those who died as this isolated strip of land has a clear line of sight to lower Manhattan where the twin towers once stood and the new freedom tower is being erected.
I can not think of a better spot to reflect on the world before and after ⁹⁄₁₁.

Bayonne, New Jersey presents a beautiful harbor two-​acre public park situated on the tip of a man-​made peninsula formerly known as Military Ocean Terminal. Here lies «To the Struggle Against World Terrorism,» a 100-​foot-​high sculpture memorial tribute to September 11, 2001 designed by a Russian prolific artist, Zurab Tsereteli. This 40-​foot steel teardrop hangs like a bell in the open center with nine walkways leading to the 11-​sided granite base that inscribe names, as well as the names who perished in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The nine walkways is very subtle while at the base of the teardrop inscribes all names who perished on September 11^th. It was presented by Russian President Vladimir Putin with a shared fight against terrorism to unify tired less efforts to eradicate the world of evil.
Harborview Park also serves as Ports of Call for Cape Liberty Cruise Port; Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises. This man-​made peninsula portrays a good view into New Jersey.
