About this audio guide
This guide to the Memorial to the Marine Engine Room Heroes on Liverpool's Pier Head begins with the Titanic's engineers in April nineteen twelve, and with a question you can test with your own eyes as you read the stone. It touches sculptor Sir William Goscombe John, the First World War at sea, and the life-size stokers and engineers who stand around the pedestal. Walk a full circle of the base, and look for the Blitz scars on the east face.
