What monument pays tribute to those who died on prison ships during the Revolutionary War?

The Ships Martyrs Monument is the correct answer as it specifically honors the memory of the thousands of American patriots who died aboard British prison ships during the Revolutionary War. These ships, often located in New York Harbor, became notorious for their overcrowded and unsanitary conditions, leading to a high mortality rate among prisoners. The monument serves as a poignant reminder of their sacrifice and aims to ensure that their suffering and contributions to the fight for independence are not forgotten.

In contrast, the other options do not directly address this specific historical context. The Liberty Memorial honors broader concepts of liberty and freedom, while the Heroes of the Revolution Monument focuses on various key figures and events rather than the plight of those who perished on prison ships. The Brooklyn War Memorial commemorates all veterans of wars but lacks the specific connection to the Revolutionary War prison ship tragedy found in the Ships Martyrs Monument. Thus, the Ships Martyrs Monument stands uniquely as a tribute to this often-overlooked aspect of American history.
