is this fake disaster memorial?

Memorials are pretty commonplace in cities across the world. These monuments stand as a tribute to personalities or events with great historical significance. The Staten Island Ferry Disaster Memorial in Battery Park, Manhattan, is one such memorial. The only exception about the structure is that the event it memorialises is completely false! Artist Joe Reginella, as part of human experiment, created the memorial in a span of six months., according to This Is Colossal Fliers were made claiming that the memorial is a tribute to a ferry named the Cornelius G. Kolff, which was sunk by an octopus and took 400 lives, on November 22, 1963, the same day as the assassination of JFK. Safe to say, it is now highly popular and photographed!
