Read gazes out at the fog-shrouded San Francisco Bay alongside this memorial to sailors (you can see the fog rolling off of the mountains in the background). You’ll find this same memorial beside Lake Champlain in Burlington, Vermont. Have you seen this sailor in other ports?

This statue is called the Lone Sailor. This is a symbol of all who served in the U.S. Navy. This memorial is located on Pennsylvania Avenue near the National Archives in Washington, D.C.

There is another Lone Sailor statue at the waterfront in Hampton Roads Virginia.

Thanks, Pat! I had no idea there was one right down the road (64E) from me too. Glad you enjoyed the presentation. I’ll be uploading the information soon to the presentations page of the blog:
