From the Jan. 7, 2013, New York News & Features "Brooklyn Civil War Statue Drenched in Paint" by Joe Coscarelli.
The USS Monitor monument was vandalized just a few days before the ceremony to mark the 150th anniversary of the famous ship's sinking, which occurred December 1862..
The monument was built in 1938. and depicts a man working on the Monitor. It was painted all over in white paint and had the initials J.J. at the base. A lot of vandalism has been going on at the McGlolrick Park.
The monument is there because this is the area of Brooklyn where the Monitor was built.
