It stands at the end of the former Military Ocean Terminal in Bayonne, New Jersey. Ceremonial groundbreaking occurred on September 16, 2005, in a ceremony attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Tear Drop Memorial. It’s at the end of a cruise port diving area. It seems like you drive to an area you’re not supposed to be in. Just keep driving! Well worth it. Beautiful!!
