Titanic Women's Memorial, Washington D.C., U.S.A.

The inscription on the Titanic Women's Memorial reads:

  To The Brave Men
    Who Perished 
    In The Wreck
   of The Titanic,
   April 15, 1912.
   They Gave Their
  Lives That Women
    and Children
   Might Be Saved.

    Erected By
    The Women
    Of America.

The unveiling was performed by President Taft and his wife in 1931. People often assume that the memorial is to the women who perished on the Titanic, but if you read the inscription this makes it plain that it is to the men. Women in America raised the money and organized the building of the monument.
