Where is the location of NYC Merchant Marine memorial plaque?

The memorial is officially known as the American Merchant Mariners Memorial. It is much more than a plaque; it is a memorial sculpture, and quite moving in it's simplicity. It is actually located in the water, not on land, and is just offshore from the north end of Battery Park, and just south of Pier A. The memorial is quite impressive, in that it reproduces an actual historical event. If you visit the memorial during high tide, you see merchant mariners reaching down toward the water, for some unknown purpose; however, as the tide goes out, more of the memorial is revealed, and you actually realize they are reaching down to aid a figure with hand outstretched seeking rescue. This is a little-known, stunning memorial, and should be visited by anyone taking the time to tour Battery Park.
