Titanic Memorial, Memorial statue in Southwest Waterfront, United States.
The granite memorial features a ten-meter-tall figure with outstretched arms standing on a square base flanked by an exedra platform.
The memorial, dedicated in 1931 with President Herbert Hoover present, commemorates the men who sacrificed their lives during the Titanic sinking in 1912.
Women across America contributed one dollar each to fund this memorial, which represents the selfless actions of male passengers during the maritime disaster.

The inscription on the base reads 'To the brave men who perished in the wreck of the Titanic April 15 1912 they gave their lives that women and children might be saved'.
