Circle Memorials are throughout America to honor those that served. Our proposal for New Orleans, next to the World War II Musem, is in line with what other cities due "to honor all who served in all wars."  Your vote counts as the Mayor and City Council review options for Tivoli Circle. 

From a vista at the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge, this life-size bronze statue of a sailor overlooks the San Francisco Bay for a view of San Francisco. Next to the sailor is his duffel bag along side a stanchion.The statue, a replica of the lone sailor, represents a sailor's last view of the West Coast as he sails out for duty at sea.

Plaque reads:
The Lone Sailor
This is a memorial to everyone who ever sailed out the Golden Gate in the service of their Country – in the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Coast Guard, the Merchant Marine.

A ship heading for sea passes directly by this spot at the northern end of the Golden Gate. Here the Sailor feels the first long roll of the sea, the beginning of the endless horizon that leads to the far Pacific.

There is one last chance to look back at the city of San Francisco, shining on its hills, one last chance to look back at the coastline of the United States, one last chance to look back at home.

Thousands and thousands of American seafarers have sailed past this place, in peace and war, to defend this Country and its sea frontiers. Many of them never returned. This monument is dedicated to the ordinary Sailors and Marines who sailed from this place and did their duty.
