The Staten Island Ferry Disaster memorial – a weathered monument in Manhattan’s Battery Park commemorating the 400 passengers who perished on November 22nd 1963 when the ferry Cornelius G. Kolff was attacked by a giant octopus, their fate overshadowed by the assassination of JFK that same day.
A rather wonderful multimedia hoax created by artist Joe Reginella.

They’re all on the Nessy buzz.
I particularly love the specifics in the text “the only known giant octopus-ferry attack in the tri-state area”.
“Never Remember” ?
This is a sculpture not multimedia.
There’s a website too. The sculpture is only one aspect.
Is it a hoax or ‘art’
Yes.
Release the KRACKEN!!
