Titanic Memorial: Thomas Andrews, Comber
Harland
and Wolff's Chief Designer, Thomas Andrews, was remembered by his fellow
countrymen through the construction of the Thomas Andrews Memorial Hall,
seen here in the photograph below right.
The first sod was cut by Andrews' young daughter Elizabeth Law Barbour Andrews on 2nd October, 1913, and on 13th January, 1913, a memorial stone was laid by his mother Eliza.
The Hall was opened by Thomas's widow Helen Andrews in a small ceremony on 29th February, 1915.
The Memorial Hall is located in Comber, County Down, and is now put to good use as a primary school, where the children who attend are reminded of the bravery of Thomas Andrews.
