Curator's Comment
Sail for America was a commemorative event held on the first anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Hundreds of sailboats converged in New York Harbor, flying personalized flags in memory of World Trade Center victims. The event took place on September 14 and 15, and afterward the personalized flags were given to the family members of victims.
