Unconditional Surrender by J. Seward Johnson

Artist: J. Seward Johnson
Location: Tuna Harbor Park, San Diego

"Unconditional Surrender" is a 25-foot sculpture that brings to life a famous black and white image of a sailor kissing a young nurse in Times Square, New York City, on August 14, 1945. The image captures the spontaneous eruption of joy and euphoria that swept a war-weary nation when the public announcement was finally made that World War II was over. "Unconditional Surrender" is on-loan to the Port through August, 31, 2010.
