As usual, we'll break down our sources at the end of the episode.

Last year, when Audie and I lived in Brooklyn, we'd like to spend many of our evenings walking around Fort Clean Park,

soaking up all the sights and sounds.

Even in the middle of a pandemic, there always seemed to be a great deal going on.

Farmers markets, kids playing basketball, political candidates speaking at small rallies, and even birthday parties.

One of our favorite spots was a towering 149-foot granite column that overshadowed everything else in the park.

It may even have been the first place we ever visited there.

It was the Prison Ship martyr's monument, built to honor the Americans who died in British prison ships during the Revolutionary War.

But it is more than just a memorial. There's also a grave stone.

The bones of many of the dead prisoners lying a crypt just beneath the base of the tower.

And that is not the only macop detail about this monument.

It was designed by Stanford White.

Students of architecture remember him as the man who developed beautiful buildings and structures all over New York City.

Many of these structures, like the Triumph of Arch in Washington Square Park, still stand today, as lovely as when they were first constructed.
