APRIL 15, 1912

This lighthouse was originally erected by public subscription.
In 1913, it stood above the East River on the roof of the old
Seamen's Church Institute at the corner of South Street and
Coenties Slip. From 1913 to 1967 the time ball at the top of the
lighthouse would drop down the pole to signal twelve noon to
the ships in the harbor. This time ball mechanism was activated
by a telegraphic signal from the National Observatory in
Washington, D.C.

In July 1968 the Seamen's' Church Institute moved to its present
quarters at 15 State Street. That year the Titanic Memorial
Lighthouse was donated by the Kaiser-Nelson Steel & Salvage
Corporation to the South Street Seaport Museum. It was erected
on this corner at the entrance to the museum complex in
May 1976 with funds provided by the Exxon Corporation.
