Robert Richard Randall
This bronze statue, cast in 1983 from the original (1883) by Augustus Saint-Gaudens, represents Robert Randall (1750-1801), benefactor of Sailors' Snug Harbor. The original is now in Sea Level, North Carolina.
This replica was made possible by generous contributions from many friends of Snug Harbor to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the arrival of the first seamen to make their home here. Snug Harbor recognized the following for their special gifts to the Randall Statue Fund:
Mr. & Mrs. Jack Friedland Peai Marwick Mitchell N.Y. Foundation Mr. & Mrs. Allan Proske The Stanley-Timolai Foundation Mrs. Peter J. Timpone, Sr.
