by Breaking Tweets    November 02, 2009

The USS New York, commissioned as a memorial to the September 11 terrorist attacks, arrived in New York harbor Monday morning.  Spectators watched from the banks of the Hudson as victims of the attacks were once again remembered.

The vessel’s bow was constructed using over seven tons of steel taken from the fallen World Trade Center towers, as reported by CNN.

Some Twitter users shared TwitPics of the USS New York in the harbor:
