Piece description from the artist
The steel arch foundation of the original building's facade is all that remains today at Pier 54, the former Cunard-White Star Line Pier. The pier has been inactive for decades but was once a bustling port for travelers and commerce at the turn of the 20th century.
Pier 54 has a tragic history. In 1912, the surviving passengers of the Titanic were rescued by the Carpathia and delivered to Pier 54. In 1915, the Lusitania shipped off from the pier and five days later was sunk by German U-boat torpedoes.
