Bayonne (New Jersey)

Bayonne's Tear Drop Memorial is a 10-story sculpture by Russian artist Zurab Tsereteli that was dedicated by Bill Clinton and Vladimir Putin in 2006. It's a dedication to both the 9/11 and 1993 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. Located at the end of the former military Ocean Terminal Dock past the Cruiser Terminal. No pedestrian or bus access so if you take the HBLR to 34th Street you will have to take a 3-mile taxi ride using a local taxi service or Uber.

Established in 1916 as Bayonne Park. It was designed by Charles N. Lowrie. The park was renamed in honor of life-long Bayonne resident, Stephen R. Gregg, who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor in World War II for his courageous charge on a German outpost in France enabling the rescue of seven severely wounded American soldiers. Gregg was also a member of the Hudson County Sheriff’s Department for 51 years and retired as chief of court officers. The park offers several sports facilities, a historic monuments area, fishing pier, an ornamental garden, two century-old sun houses, and a panoramic view of Port Elizabeth and Newark.

It was built as a bank in 1912, and was preserved in the 1970s for its architecture. Since 2002, it has been owned by the city as a museum. In 2006, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Cape Liberty Cruise Port is one of the few trans-Atlantic passenger terminals in the New York Harbor. Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises base their ships at this port and sail mostly to the Caribbean and Canada.

Bayonne's oldest church dating back to 1866. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.

More than 50 Bavarian families established the original church in 1889 a few blocks from the current one, which was dedicated in 1915. The church can serve more than 1,500 families per mass.

Birdwatching park with a 2-mile nature path, and a monument to the ELCO Naval Division.
