I remember years ago walking along the harbor watching the tuna boats being in and cleaning their nets on the piers along the harbor. It was a great sight.

We visited this park in 2016 and I really liked the group of statues "listening" to the speaker. Also visited the USS Midway a few years prior.

Thank you for honoring those who fought in World War II. I was unaware of the "Embracing Peace" name of the statue. Here's some more information: Unconditional Surrender is a series of computer-generated statues by Seward Johnson that resemble an iconic 1945 photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, V-J day in Times Square, but was said by Johnson to be based on a similar, less well-known, photograph by Victor Jorgensen that is in the public domain. The first in the series was installed temporarily in Sarasota, Florida, then was moved to San Diego, California and New York City. Other copies have been installed in Hamilton, New Jersey; Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; and Normandy, France. Johnson later identified the statue at exhibitions as "Embracing Peace" for the risqué double entendre when spoken.

The "unconditional surrender" sculpture is based on a 1945 photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt (V-J day in Times Square) or a less well known photograph by Victor Jorgensen that is in the public domain. The Eisenstaedt photo is very well known and appeared on the front pages of newspapers across the country when Japan surrendered, bringing WWII to an end. That it is a copy of a photographic scene does not degrade the statue by any means. I simply wanted to clarify for those who know the photo, but not the statue.

This started life as just a park area attached to SEAPORT Village. Leave it to SD city council to get carried away with naming by the foot.

Until recently I didn't realize anything much was there aside from the Fish Market, statue and the Bob Hope monument.

There is a small tile near this statue and the water . It's made up of small square tiles and has a white face and red eyes. I saw it in December 2015 and took a picture. I'm not from SD and wonder what it is.

I'm not sure. I'll head down there in a couple of weeks and see if I can find out.

I'm not sure. I wouldn't think you can next to the Midway or near the boats but you may be able to in the area behind the Bob Hope statue. I'm not certain though.

Too bad that the street vendors have overwhelmed that place and made the parking so bad. I used to work in the now demolished buildings across the street and it was much better before they took away so much of the parking in the area and took away access to Broadway Pier.

I went down recently and was surprised at how many vendors there. Same with at the beach.

@@SidetrackAdventures The City claims to be restricting the amount of vendors and controlling where they can be, but so far all they've done is hire more City staff.
