Memorial to the Engine Room Heroes of the Titanic
Memorial to the Engine Room Heroes of the Titanic, Maritime memorial at Pier Head, Liverpool, England
The memorial is a granite obelisk carved with figures of stokers and engineers on its east and west faces, standing at St Nicholas Place near Liverpool's waterfront. Decorative classical elements frame the base, and a gilded flame tops the structure.
The memorial was unveiled in 1916, funded through international subscriptions, to honor those lost in the Titanic disaster. Its creation marked one of the first monuments dedicated to remembering the ship's crew members.
The memorial depicts working-class sailors in life-size form, honoring people rarely shown in public monuments of that era. This focus on engine room workers represented a different approach to who deserved public remembrance.
The obelisk stands at an accessible location on the waterfront and is visible year-round. You can walk around it easily to view the carved details from different angles.
The memorial still bears visible damage from World War II bombing raids on Liverpool, with marks left by German bombs. These scars tell a story of survival through wartime destruction.
