Seaman's Church Institute of New York, incorporated in 1844 for 
`the religious and temporal welfare of seamen and boatmen.' 

Atop the beautiful 13-story building is a lighthouse tower erected by public 
subscription as a memorial to those who perished in the sinking of the Titanic. 

The building is at 25 South Street, which is the eastern waterfront of 
Lower New York; and to reach it you would turn to your right in Pearl Street, 
after leaving Fraunces' TaverD, and walk east (right) in Coenties Slip for two blocks. 

For nearly a century the Institute has done a grand work for sailors ashore.
