This is a memorial to the Swedish-American inventor and naval engineer John Ericsson. It is located inside a traffic circle, a little ways off from the Lincoln Memorial. This is kind of a niche place to visit because Ericsson is not extremely well known to people, unless you are a history, or more specifically, a naval history buff.

The Society was founded in 1907 and incorporated under the laws of State of New York in 1934. John Ericsson National Memorial Overview The Swedish-born engineer-inventor is best known for his work during the Civil War when he transformed naval warfare through his design of the iron-plated USS Monitor . The idea for the 1926 Ericsson Memorial Issue came from the John Ericsson Memorial Commission, which had raised funds to create a memorial to the inventor.
