Area philanthropist Henry Trione and retired Navy Capt. Jackson L. Schultz co-chaired a committee to raise the nearly $3 million needed to erect a memorial on the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge. There today stands a replica of the Lone Sailor statue found at the United States Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C. Surrounding the San Francisco version of the statue are bronze plaques honoring the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Merchant Marine. Each is an exact replica of ones at the memorial in D.C., except the Navy’s plaque. It’s an original created by local artist Keith Christie.
