Memorial for Engineers, Southampton
Memorial for Engineers, Southampton
 |
The first memorials to Titanic's victims were
the church services in commemoration of the dead and thanksgiving for
the living. At London's St Paul's Catherdal; at Southhampton's St Mary's
Church; in Belfast, New York, Paris - the world wept and worshipped while
the grief was still strong.
As the days passed the enormity of the loss of life became evident, and relief programmes were established. To fund them, memorial concerts, theatrical performances and benefits were presented in theatres, concert halls, and even athletic stadiums throughout the United Kingdom, the United States and the colonies

The first specific group to be memorialised were the musicans. Plaques were dedicated in liverpool, Boston and New York to mark the valour of these gallant men. Another monument of a 'broken column' style, was dedicated in 1915 in New South Wales mining community of Broken Hill. A concert in London's Royal Albert Hall and another at New York's Broadway Theatre raised funds specifically for the musicans families.
Two memorials appeared at Southampton, one for the engineers, another for the stewards and other crew. At New York, the Seamen's Church Institute building, then nearing completion, incorporated a replia of a lighthouse in its design. Another memorial to Titanic's engineers overlooks the Liverpool Landing stage.
