May 15 A historic painting that formerly was displayed at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N.Y., will be on display once again.
„We are moving Jesus out of the basement“, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced in a news release and video on Thursday.
„To all the great midshipmen at the Merchant Marine Academy, you let me know how important this painting was to all of you“, Duffy said.
„Now we all know it was taken out of a place of prominence and put down in the basement.“
Duffy called the painting „historic“ and said he worked with the academy to display it once again.
„This painting is going to go from the basement back to its place of prominence“, Duffy said. „It will be a moment to celebrate.“
Midshipmen welcome painting’s return
Duffy announced the painting’s pending relocation while visiting the academy in April.
