In the centre of a large stone concave low stepped marble surround and seating area is a bronze statue of Nike, the Greek winged goddess of victory, standing on the prow of a galley. There are also relief carvings which represent the engineer officers of the ship, who died in the disaster. The bronze and granite memorial was originally draped in the union flag and unveiled by Sir Archibald Denny, president of the Institute of Marine Engineers. At least 20 of the 38 named engineers originated from Southampton. The monument was restored in 2010 in a joint venture between Southampton City Council and TV production company Twenty Twenty Television.
