Rosie the Riveter Memorial
Three years before the national park was created, the City of Richmond initiated the Rosie Memorial to celebrate the important aspect of their community's history. The design uses abstracted forms of Liberty ships in sculptures reminiscent of the prefabricated ships assembled by shipyard workers. Meant to draw parallels between the acts of constructing ships and reconstructing memories, the Memorial's form is that of a vessel in the process of being built. Quotes from "Rosies" and a World War II timeline are incised into the granite walkway of the memorial. This memorial is the touchstone of the national park here in Richmond, and is located in Marina Bay Park.
