Titanic Memorial, Memorial sculpture at Donegall Square, Belfast City Hall, Northern Ireland
The Titanic Memorial is a sculpture of Carrara marble and granite near Donegall Square at Belfast City Hall. The composition shows four marble figures: a female figure holding a laurel wreath, a drowned sailor, and two mermaids supporting him.
The memorial was funded by public donations after the ship sank in 1912 and unveiled in 1920. Its creation was a response to one of history's greatest maritime disasters.
The memorial holds deep meaning for locals, as Belfast is where the Titanic was built. The names of those lost are inscribed nearby, connecting the city directly to the tragedy.
The memorial grounds are open daily from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, offering a quiet place to pause near the city center. Seasonal plantings of white, silver, blue, and green plants create a pleasant setting for a short visit.
The sculpture was carved by Thomas Brock from Carrara marble and stands about 7 meters high. It is the only memorial worldwide that records all Titanic victims by name.
