According to Friends of the High Line, "A skeletal steel archway adorned with ghostly lettering across its central beam stands at the entrance to the vacant Pier 54 in New York’s harbor. Currently a gateway to an expanse of concrete, the arch once existed as part of a larger piershed built at the turn of the 20th century. The iron relic, built in 1907, greeted survivors from the RMS Titanic in 1912; accommodated the RMS Lusitania before its disastrous torpedoing in 1915, hosted luxury cruise liners throughout the 1930s, docked naval ships during World War II, and housed freight operators through the 1950s. The pier’s original covered structure was torn down in 1991, leaving only the preserved archway."
