Located on Pier Head is the Engineers' Memorial, commonly
called the Titanic
memorial (although the word Titanic is not inscribed on the
memorial).
The connection to Liverpool is that Titanic's registered home
port
was Liverpool, but she actually sailed out of Southhampton.
Nonetheless,
her owners, lots of the crew (offsite link)
including her chief officer, chief engineer, and a member of the heroic
band were from
Liverpool.
Adding to this tragedy, a few years later came the
Lusitania sinking. |
