Bristol Basin

Beneath this East River Drive of the City of New York lie stones, bricks and rubble from the bombed city of Bristol in England... brought here in ballast from overseas, these fragments that once were homes shall testify while men love freedom to the resolution and fortitude of the people of Britain, they saw their homes struck down without warning... it was not their walls but their valor that kept them free......
And broad-based under all
Is planted England's oaken-hearted mood,
As rich in fortitude
As e'er went worldward from the island-wall.
Erected by the English-speaking Union of the United States
1942
