Titanic Engineer Officers Memorial Verified listing

The Titanic Engineer Officers’ Memorial stands in East Park (also known as Andrews Park), near the city centre of Southampton. Unveiled on 22 April 1914, just two years after the Titanic disaster, the monument honours the bravery of the ship’s engineer officers who remained at their posts as the vessel sank. Designed by Whitehead & Son, the memorial features a bronze figure of Glory (in the form of the Greek goddess Nike) standing on the prow of a ship, with detailed relief panels showing the engineers at work in the engine rooms.

These officers—including engineers, electricians, boilermakers, and other technical crew—played a vital role in keeping Titanic’s lights, pumps, and wireless systems running for as long as possible, aiding the evacuation efforts and allowing distress signals to be sent. All of them perished in the disaster. The memorial includes a biblical quote from John 15:13: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends," along with the names of the 35 engineer officers it commemorates.

The monument is open to the public and does not require any ticket or entry fee. Visitors can freely walk around the site, take in the detailed bronze work, and sit on the surrounding benches. It remains a place of quiet reflection and local pride, often visited by those interested in the Titanic's story or Southampton’s maritime history. The memorial was fully restored in 2010 and continues to be a moving tribute to those who gave their lives in the line of duty.
