Fake NYC Monument Honors Octopus Attack, Fools Tourists (Jordi Lippe-McGraw, October 03, 2016, Conde Nast Traveler)
It was a tragic day on November 22, 1963 at 4 a.m. when 400 passengers were killed aboard the Cornelius G. Kolff ferry off the coast of New York City's Staten Island, so artist Joseph Reginella decided to commemorate the event by creating a cast-iron statue in Battery Park in lower Manhattan, just across from Staten Island and close to the ferry terminal.
