Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prison Ship Martyrs' Monument Association: Dedication of the Monument and Other Proceedings The Veteran Corps of Artillery of the State of New York, in the picturesque uniform of a century ago, did guard duty at the Monument. This organization paraded on April 13, 1808, at the laying of the corner-stone of the tomb on Hudson Street, long since decayed, and removed when the bones were transferred to the tomb at the entrance of Fort Greene Park. After several musical selections, ending with the Star Span gled Banner, admirably rendered by Shannon's Twenty-third Regiment Band, the Hon. Stephen V. White, President of the Monument Association, called the audience to order, and after briefly describing the movements which led up to the comple tion of the Monument, presented the Chaplain of the day, who made the invocation.
