Cunatd LINE on Broadway is a short walking distance

A few short blocks south on West Street ,The DOWN TOWN ATHLETIC CLUB

Which had many members who were involved in shipping eg, Moran Shipping

The area of the WTC shipping history go back to 16th Century

It's amazing the WTC connection with ships

I remember so well taking pictures from all sides up on the viewing platform of WTC tower two. Buying a New York City poster that still hangs in our library.

 

The next time we saw it there were huge gaping holes where they were still excavating. There was a cross fashioned out of steel. There was an American flag.

 

The last time was a year ago, and we took guided tours of the Memorial Museum one day and a guided tour of the Memorial grounds and reflection pools the second day. The emotions those two days were very, very high.

 

We will never, ever forget..........
