Memorial to the Engine Room Heroes of the Titanic

Il Memorial to the Engine Room Heroes of the Titanic è un monumento commemorativo in granito situato a St. Nicholas Place, Pier Head, Liverpool, in Inghilterra. La città è legata al tragico naufragio del RMS Titanic del 15 aprile 1912 perché la compagnia navale proprietaria del transatlantico, la White Star Line, fu fondata nel 1840 proprio a Liverpool, e anche perché nel suo porto avvenne l'immatricolazione del Titanic (sulla poppa era infatti presente la scritta "Titanic, Liverpool"). Il monumento è dedicato ai 244 macchinisti che sacrificarono la propria vita nel disastro per mantenere funzionante l'elettricità del transatlantico il più a lungo possibile. Il monumento, alto 14,6 metri, fu progettato da Sir William Goscombe John e costruito intorno al 1916. Sebbene sia stato dedicato inizialmente ai macchinisti del RMS Titanic, in seguito è stato esteso anche a quelli morti in servizio durante la prima guerra mondiale. Il monumento è un Listed building di Grade II*. Sul monumento sono ancora visibili i danni riportati durante la seconda guerra mondiale a causa dei bombardamenti. Un altro monumento dedicato ai macchinisti del Titanic è presente a Southampton, il porto di partenza della nave durante il suo primo e ultimo viaggio.

Memorial to Heroes of the Marine Engine Room

Het Memorial to Heroes of the Marine Engine Room is een monument aan de Pier Head te Liverpool, ter nagedachtenis aan personen die omkwamen tijdens hun werk in de scheepsmachinekamer. Het monument is opgericht in 1916 en ontworpen door William Goscombe John. Geschiedenis Oorspronkelijk was het monument bedoeld voor de scheepswerktuigkundigen die omkwamen bij de ramp van de Titanic (1912). Vanwege de slachtoffers die tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog ook op zee vielen, werd ervoor gekozen om dit uit te breiden naar (Britse) machinekamer-slachtoffers in het algemeen. Het is hiermee in de Britse traditie een uitzonderlijk vroeg monument dat gewijd was aan de 'heroïsche werkende man'. In 2012 vond een restauratie plaats en werd een informatiebord toegevoegd. Beschadigingen als gevolg van een bom uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog werden bewust in stand gehouden. Uiterlijk Het monument heeft als basis een granieten obelisk van 14,5 meter hoog. Aan de westkant zijn twee figuren van werktuigkundigen te zien; aan de oostkant twee stokers. Op de hoeken zijn de vier elementen verbeeld. De zuidkant heeft de volgende inscriptie: THE BRAVE DO NOT DIE/ THEIR DEEDS LIVE ON FOREVER/ AND CALL UPON US/ TO EMULATE THEIR COURAGE/ AND DEVOTION TO DUTY De tekst in het noorden luidt: IN HONOUR OF/ ALL HEROES OF THE/ MARINE ENGINE ROOM/ THIS MEMORIAL/ WAS ERECTED BY/ INTERNATIONAL SUBSCRIPTION/ MCMXVI Referenties Omschrijving bij Historic England Omschrijving bij het IWM War Memorials Register Omschrijving bij Victorian Web
Memorial aos heróis da casa das máquinas do Titanic

O memorial aos heróis da casa das máquinas do Titanic é um monumento de granito localizado em St. Nicholas Place, no Pier Head, em Liverpool, Inglaterra. A cidade de Liverpool é fortemente associado com o malfadado transatlântico que afundou em 15 de abril de 1912, depois de bater em um iceberg no Atlântico Norte com a perda de 1.517 vidas. O RMS Titanic era de propriedade da White Star Line que foi fundada em Liverpool em 1840. Liverpool foi também o porto de matrícula do navio com as palavras 'Titanic, Liverpool' visível na popa do navio. O memorial na orla de Liverpool é dedicado aos 244 mecânicos que perderam suas vidas no desastre enquanto trabalhavam no fornecimento de energia e outras necessidades vitais ao navio durante o maior tempo possível. O monumento é notável por ser o primeiro momumento no Reino Unido representando a classe trabalhadora. O monumento dedicado às centenas de homens que morreram durante o naufrágio foi desenhado por Sir William Goscombe John e construído por volta de 1916. Tem 14,6 metros de altura e embora seja mais fortemente associado ao RMS Titanic, sua dedicatória foi ampliada para incluir todas as fatalidades de casa das máquinas ocorridas durante o desempenho de dever na Primeira Guerra Mundial. O monumento é de Grau II*. Danos por estilhaços causados ​​por bombas que caíram durante os ataques da Segunda Guerra Mundial podem ser claramente vistos no momento. Existe também um memorial dedicado aos maquinistas do Titanic localizado em Southampton, Inglaterra. Existem inúmeros artefatos do RMS Titanic no Merseyside Maritime Museum localizado rio acima dentro do The Royal Albert Dock Liverpool.

Меморіал героям машинного відділення «Титаніка» (Ліверпуль)

Меморіал героям машинного відділення морського судна (англ. Memorial to Heroes of the Marine Engine Room) — гранітний пам'ятник, внесений до списку об'єктів культурної спадщини категорії II*, розташований на площі Святого Миколая, біля пірсу в Ліверпулі (Англія). Історія Меморіал спочатку задумувався як пам'ятник усім 32 інженерам, які загинули під час катастрофи «Титаніка» 15 квітня 1912 року. Ліверпуль був портом реєстрації «Титаніка», а також містом, де розташовувалася штаб-квартира компанії-власника судна — White Star Line. Будівництво фінансувалося за рахунок міжнародних пожертвувань. На пам'ятнику було залишено місця для висікання імен інших інженерів. Однак через великі людські втрати під час Першої світової війни його присвяту розширили, і тепер вона охоплює всіх загиблих під час виконання службових обов'язків у машинних відділеннях морських суден. На пам'ятнику чітко видно сліди від осколків бомб, які впали під час Бліцу в роки Другої світової війни. Дизайн На східній стороні меморіалу розташовані дві фігури, що зображують кочегарів: одна тримає лопату, а інша — ганчірку для чищення. На правій фігурі видно пошкодження, отримані під час Ліверпульського бліцу. Пам'ятник заввишки 48 футів (14,6 м) спроектував сер Вільям Госкомб Джон. Він побудований у вигляді гранітного обеліска, що стоїть на квадратному скошеному постаменті. Обеліск увінчаний позолоченим полум'ям. Кожен із його нижніх кутів прикрашений різьбленими зображеннями чотирьох класичних елементів. На східній та західній сторонах постаменту розташовані вирізьблені в натуральну величину скульптури кочегарів та інженерів. Певзнер описує ці фігури як «вражаюче натуралістичні» і зазначає, що вони фокусуються на героїзмі робітничого класу. На момент проєктування монумента використання зображень робітників і трудящих було рідкісною темою в британському суспільному мистецтві, тому їхнє включення Госкомбом Джоном вважалося новаторським. Організація Historic England зазначає, що меморіал справив значний вплив на майбутній дизайн військових пам'ятників, називаючи його «одним із найбільш значущих у художньому плані меморіалів катастрофі «Титаніка» по обидва боки Атлантики».

Spurgeon's College

Spurgeon's College was an evangelical Baptist theological college in South Norwood, London, England. It was affiliated with the Baptist Union of Great Britain. On 31 July 2025, the Trustees announced that owing to financial constraints the college would close immediately. History The school was founded in 1856 by Pastor Charles Spurgeon as "Pastors' College" in London. His vision was to provide a practical theological education, mission-centered. By 1892, the school had trained 863 students. In 1923, it moved to its present building and was renamed in honor of its founder. It closed on 31 July 2025 due to financial constraints. Programmes It delivered training for the Baptist ministry both in the UK and elsewhere. It offered a suite of other courses including online learning, a part-time (Monday) Degree course, several Master's courses. In 2008 the college was also accredited by the British Accreditation Council. In 2011 the college underwent three external inspections. A week-long inspection by the ecumenical churches (Quality in Formation) declared the college 'fit for purpose' and the University of Wales judged that the preparation for research degrees (MPhil, PhD) meets the current standards. Finally, the 2011 quinquennial review by the university resulted in a report recommending the programmes should continue subject to two conditions being met within months and other recommendations should be carefully considered. Due to the University of Wales stopping the accreditation of outside institutes, their academic accreditation was withdrawn in 2012. In September 2012, the college announced that its degrees had received provisional accreditation by the University of Manchester, a member of the Russell Group of British universities, subject to adjustments and negotiation. In 2020 the college announced a consultation period for a redevelopment programme as part of their vision to become a university. In May 2022 the college was granted time-limited taught degree awarding powers until 2025 by the Office for Students, which were extended on 2 July 2025 until 2028. The University of Manchester and Liverpool Hope University continued to validate some courses. On the 31 July 2025, it was announced that Higher Education courses had closed and that students would be supported in transfers. Spurgeon's also validated some courses for the Irish Baptist College, which is also affected by the closure. Partners The school was a partner of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and the Evangelical Alliance. Notable alumni J.

Boscobel House (Shropshire/Staffordshire)

Boscobel House é um palácio rural inglês situado na fronteira entre o Shropshire e o Staffordshire, próximo de Wolverhampton e Albrighton. Foi construído por volta de 1632, quando o proprietário rural John Giffard, dono da herdade do White Ladies Priory (Priorado das Damas Brancas), converteu uma casa de lavoura com armação em madeira num pavilhão de caça. Boscobel House tornou-se num dos mais evocativos lugares no imaginário histórico inglês. Foi nesta propriedade que Carlos II famosamente se escondeu numa árvore para evitar ser descoberto pelos soldados Parlamentaristas depois da Batalha de Worcester. É um listed building classificado com o Grau II e possui vários outros elementos classificados na mesma lista. Encontra-se ao cuidado do English Heritage. História Giffard chamou ao novo pavilhão de caça Boscobel House, termo que se pensa ter derivado do italiano "bosco bello", que significa "bosque belo". Em 1632, a Boscobel House estava rodeada de densos bosques. O Carvalho Real Os Giffard eram uma família Católica e, no século XVII, o catolicismo era visto com grande desconfiança. O próprio edifício serviu como um lugar secreto para abrigo de padres católicos, com numerosos priest-holes ("buraco do padre" - um esconderijo existente em algumas casas da época) e locais de esconderijo espalhados em volta dos edifícios. Este propósito secreto da casa iria desempenhar um importante papel na história do país. Próximo do fim da Guerra Civil Inglesa, depois da Batalha de Worcester, Carlos II fugiu para salvar a vida, procurando refúgio ne Boscobel House. O Coronel William Carlis e o rei passaram todo o dia escondidos num carvalho vizinho (a qual se tornou famosa como The Royal Oak - "O Carvalho Real") de onde podiam ver as patrulhas à sua procura. Mais tarde, Carlos II passou a noite escondido num dos priest-holes de Boscobel House.

Pharaoh’s Island (Themse)

Pharaoh’s Island ist eine Insel in der Themse, knapp 30 Kilometer Luftlinie südwestlich der City of London. Geographie Die Insel liegt rund 300 Meter westlich des Shepperton Lock in der Stadt Shepperton ganz im Süden des Districts Spelthorne, der hier von der Themse begrenzt wird. Das südliche Themseufer gehört bereits zum District Runnymede. In der Reihe der Inseln in der Themse liegt Pharao's Island 220 Meter oberhalb (nordwestlich) von Hamhaugh Island und 5,8 km unterhalb von Penton Hook Island. Zwei gegenüberliegende Slipanlagen an der Nord- und Südseite teilen die Insel in einen kleineren Westteil und einen größeren Ostteil. Im Südosten, beim Sunset Cottage, gibt es eine weitere, kleinere Slipanlage. Ordnance Survey Karten aus den Jahren 1883 und 1896 zeigen die Insel unter dem Namen Dog Ait. Die Insel wurde vom britischen Schatzamt gekauft, um sie Admiral Nelson nach seinem Sieg in der Schlacht am Nil (1798) zu schenken. Dieser nutzte sie zum Angeln. 1903 baute der Tory-Abgeordnete Cyril Atkinson das erste Haus auf der Insel und nannte es Sphinx. Heute stehen 23 Wohngebäude auf der Insel, die – bis auf Sunset Cottage und Willow Hayne – ägyptische Hausnamen tragen. Auch die der Insel benachbarten Wohngebäude am nördlichen und am südlichen Themseufer haben Hausnamen, außer derer auf Hamhaugh Island, die Hausnummern tragen. Wohngebäude mit Hausnamen tragen keine Hausnummern. Die Insel kann nur mit dem Boot erreicht werden. 14 der 23 Gebäude haben eine eigene Anlegestelle. Hausnamen Folgende Hausnamen werden auf Pharaoh's Island verwendet (im Uhrzeigersinn, beginnend im Westen): Willow Hayne hieß bis 2016 Willow Cottage. Isis hieß früher Ferry Cottage.

Pharaoh's Island, River Thames

Pharaoh's Island is an island in the River Thames, in Surrey, England, 270 m (300 yd) upstream of Shepperton Lock. Overview The island has a length of 280 m and a maximum width of 60 m. Shepperton Lock is 270 m downstream and two other channels leading to weirs diverge off after the island to its southeast. These channels then surround Lock Island and Hamhaugh Island. The island is only accessible by boat, with the facilities of Lock Island downstream and moorings there or by the pub The Thames Court almost opposite its eastern tip on the nearer, north bank. River level Above the lock, the variation in river level has been between 0.08 m at the lock gate and 0.99 m. This compares favourably with variation below the lock at between 2.67 m and 4.95 m in depth. History It was purchased by the Treasury to give to Admiral Nelson after the Battle of the Nile (1798). He used it as a fishing retreat. The island was known as Dog Ait until at least the end of the 19th century. Tory MP and High Court Judge Sir Cyril Atkinson built the first house on the island in 1903 and named it Sphinx due to his interest in Egyptology. Residential development Since the late 20th century it has hosted 23 homes with individual moorings. Most of the properties have Egyptian names. The property names are, clockwise, starting in the west: As of May 2020, Sphinx has fetched the highest cost, £1.318 million. This took place in 2013. Deaths in January 2011 In January 2011, a small dinghy ferrying people from the island capsized with the loss of two lives. The fatalities were named as university academic Dr Rex Walford OBE, and record producer Keith Lowde. Media representations As the home of his family, the island was the setting for director John Boorman's two semi-autobiographical films: Hope and Glory in 1987 and Queen and Country in 2014.

LV 78 Calshot Spit

LV 78 Calshot Spit is a former Trinity House lightvessel that was anchored off Calshot Spit and is now a museum ship in Southampton. LV 78 was built in 1914 by John I. Thornycroft & Company shipyard in Southampton and decommissioned in 1987. She was stationed at the entrance to the Port of Southampton to act as a floating lighthouse to guide ships and flying boats entering Southampton Water. After decommissioning in 1987 she became a static attraction at the Ocean Village marina in Southampton from 1988 to 2010. In November 2010 she was moved a short distance to the Trafalgar dock where, after renovation, she was to be displayed at the "Aeronautica" attraction, due to open in 2015. The plans for "Aeronautica" came to a halt in January 2012. In December 2019 the ship was relocated to the Solent Sky museum under plans for it to be converted into part of the museum's café. The vessel remains on dry land outside Solent Sky museum awaiting developments. LV 78 is on the National Historic Ships UK register.
