Memorial to the engineers of Titanic
George Alexander (1881 - 1942)
This plaque commemorates the outstanding heroism and courage of the engineering staff of the Titanic. The men worked in the depths of the ship to supply power for lighting during the evacuation, and to enable radio distress signals to be sent until just three minutes before the Titanic finally sank. They all lost their lives that night.
As a result of the tragedy, ship design and safety measures to protect life at sea have been continuously reviewed. A charity was also set up to support needy marine engineers and their dependants: The Guild of Benevolence of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST).
