Description: The Prison Ship Martyrs' Monument in Fort Greene Park, in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, is a memorial to the more than 11,500 prisoners of war who died in captivity, known as the prison ship martyrs. The remains of a small fraction of all those who died on the ships are in a crypt below its base.
A plaque was added in 1960, fifty two years later after the construction of the monument, in order to provoke a new world of public interest. The plaque is located opposite of the front label on the monument. Surrounding the monument stands an eight-tonne bronze urn and four 300-pound eagles. The text on the plaque reads:
“In memory of the 11,500 patriotic American sailors and soldiers who endured untold suffering and died on the prison British ships anchored in Wallabout Bay during the Revolutionary War 1776- 1782. Their remains lie buried in the crypt at the base of this monument which was dedicated on November 14, 1908. This plaque was afforded by The Society of Old Brooklynites on June 1, 1960. Farelly Crane M.D. President.
