The Titanic memorial pictured here on the left, the Titanic Stewards' Memorial fountain in Southampton, was unveiled over three years after the disaster, on 27th July, 1915.
Over many years it became neglected and vandalised, and as a result, it was moved to a new, safe location within the ruins of Holyrood Church, on 15th April, 1972, the 60th anniversary of the sinking of Titanic.
