AMERICAN VETERANS MEMORIAL PIER

Bay Ridge Avenue (69th Street) at Shore Road
9/11 Memorial: Robert Ressler, 2005

This 600-foot pier once served as the embarkation point for the Bay Ridge–St. George ferry. After the completion of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, it was opened for recreational use due to its stunning views. Because the pier once boasted unobstructed views of the World Trade Center, a 9/11 memorial was placed on the pier in 2005.
