On October 13, 1970, Patrolman Maurice J. Erben,
stationed on the deck of Launch 4 on the East Rive, next to Pier 10,
had been struggling to recover a human body from the water.
But when an unexpected current slammed the launch into the pier,
Patrolman Erben was fatally crushed against the pilings.
Sad day in HARBOR. Rest in pease Maurice !
