Background
History
The memorial was intended originally to commemorate all 32 engineers who died in the sinking of Titanic on 15 April 1912. Spaces were left on the monument to record the names of other engineers. However, due to the heavy loss of life throughout World War I, its dedication was broadened to include all maritime engine room fatalities incurred during the performance of duty. Shrapnel damage from bombs that fell during the Blitz in World War II can be clearly seen on the monument.
