The New Jersey South, Tom's River Submarine
Memorial, is of course located in Tom's River but more correctly in South
Tom's River at Huddy Park near Mathis Plaza. It was erected along the sea
wall by the people of South Tom's River and New Jersey South. The memorial,
which is also called the New Jersey South Submarine Veteran's Memorial,
was dedicated on 11 April 1997 by the (then) Base Commander John Dempster.
There is a beautiful park that was built with a large Gazebo, it is well cared for and well lighted. The memorial consist's of a torpedo mounted on 2 concrete cradles with a memorial plaque on each one. Under the torpedo is an area where flower's can be planted and directly in front of the torpedo (away from the seaward side) is the memorial walk where anyone can have their name or the name of a loved one inscribed in a paving stone for $35.00. [ Contact the base treasurer, Steve Bernath or C.O.B. Chuck Kelly Jr. for more info at USSVI-Long Island Base via the POC address listed HERE. ] Information provided by Steven Hollenczer |
The grave site was cleaned up and the
gravestone of John P Holland was replaced
with a new one and a bronze plaque in 1976. Photo by Patrick Wayne Ellis |
