Memorial to Heroes of the Marine Engine Room

The Memorial to Heroes of the Marine Engine Room is a granite monument located on St. Nicholas Place, at the Pier Head, in Liverpool, England.

[1] Liverpool was the Titanic port of registry, as well as the home of the ship's owner, White Star Line.

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.

[1][3] The east and west side of the pedestal feature carved life-size sculptures of stokers and engineers.

[4] When the monument was designed, the use of manual labourers and workers was an uncommon subject in British public art and their inclusion by Goscombe John was considered innovative.
