A 1963 mural depicting longshoremen at work with the Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty in the background is to be rededicated in Brooklyn, N.Y.

The Working Brooklyn Waterfront, which was created by the late artist Bernard Seaman, will be officially rededicated at ceremonies at its new home inside the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal Tuesday, the International Longshoremen's Association said Monday.

Louis Pernice, president of Local 1814, spearheaded the efforts to save the mural and find an appropriate place to display it after the medical center on Court Street where it was housed closed several years ago.

Workers at New York Container Terminal and HAVOC Media Design handled the delicate task of removing each panel, then crating it for transport.

Prior to installation at the Passenger Ship Terminal, a new custom framework was created.

It's wonderful that this important and valuable piece of our ILA history will be preserved and seen by countless travelers as they make their way through the passenger terminal, Pernice said in a statement. I'm grateful our current and future ILA membership will come to work and see a mural that was enjoyed by our members from more than 40 years ago.
