Ever Seen a Monument for Marine Engineers?-Engine Room Heroes of the “Titanic”



Have you ever seen a monument erected for Marine Engineers?


Wondering what it is and where is it?

Coming back to the memorial, here is a picture which I took from internet.

I am sure When Engineers see such a monument, they will definitely be happy and be proud too.

The intention of this article, is to let our dear Marine Engineers know the location so that they can visit if they have time.

Name:       Memorial to the Engine Room Heroes of the “Titanic”.
Location:  Liverpool.

This memorial stands on Pier Head in Liverpool. It is inscribed on the north face

“IN HONOUR OF  ALL HEROES OF THE  MARINE ENGINE ROOM  THIS MEMORIAL  WAS ERECTED BY  INTERNATIONAL SUBSCRIPTION” inscription
and on the south face

THE BRAVE DO NOT DIE THEIR DEEDS LIVE FOR EVER  AND CALL UPON US  TO EMULATE THEIR COURAGE  AND DEVOTION TO DUTY” inscription

Comprises a granite column with a carved Egyptian scene at the top and statues of engineers by Goscombe John on the West face. There are depictions of Water,Earth,Sea and Fire on each corner. 

The memorial commemorates the 122 Engineers who died when RMS Titanic sunk on 15 April 1912.
