I only knew about this mark before our trip thanks to Papa-Bear-NYC on Geocaching.com. It’s located between the famous cannons overlooking the harbor and is one of the neatest settings I’ve seen. With a monumentation date of 2005, it’s brand new and the datasheet doesn’t even appear on NOS’s website yet. We found this mark on a drizzly-morning walk around town, after locating several other marks nearby (AI8315, Tidal 11, Tidal 13, and Tidal 14).
