Liberty Hound is located on the waterfront in Jacksonville, Florida. The Lone Sailor had several early designs, but The version created from these meetings was not approved. After failing to use a model of a naval ceremonial honor guard, Bleifield turned to the New London submarine Base for a more typical man.
