Have you ever seen a monument erected for Marine Engineers?
Wondering what it is and where is it?
Coming back to the memorial, here is a picture which I took from internet.
I am sure When Engineers see such a monument, they will definitely be happy and be proud too.
The intention of this article, is to let our dear Marine Engineers know the location so that they can visit if they have time.

This memorial stands on Pier Head in Liverpool. It is inscribed on the north face
