Before becoming a memorial pier, it served as a ferry terminal connecting Brooklyn to Staten Island until the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge opened in 1964.
The pier was renamed in 1987 to honor American veterans, with a plaque commemorating their service and sacrifice.
The pier offers a stunning view of the New York Harbor, including the iconic Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline.
Local anglers frequent the pier, making it a beloved spot for catching striped bass and bluefish.
Each year, a ceremony is held to honor veterans, featuring speeches, music, and a wreath-laying ceremony.
The pier is integrated into a larger network of parks and trails that stretch along the Brooklyn waterfront, offering recreational opportunities for locals and visitors alike.
