About Sullivan’s Attack Memorial at Port Richmond
Sullivan's Attack Memorial at Port Richmond commemorates an American raid on Staten Island in August 1777. The operation involved crossings, separate troop movements, and fighting near the island's ferry routes. The monument gives that dispersed action a modern place of remembrance.
The memorial stands in Veterans Park near the historic ferry area. It is a later commemorative stone, with its own dedication history, rather than a surviving wartime structure.
History happened here at Sullivan’s Attack Memorial at Port Richmond
John Sullivan's force attacked Staten Island on August 22, 1777. William Smallwood's troops operated around Decker's Ferry as part of the divided movement against British-aligned positions. The raid's coordination and return crossings were central to its outcome.
The operation did not permanently dislodge British control of the island. A monument later commemorated the episode at Port Richmond, preserving its connection with the waterfront. The memorial is useful for interpretation, while the separate approach routes, fighting positions, and ferry sites require a broader campaign map.
