Help restore the graves of the Titanic's passengers and crew

More than 110 years have passed since the Titanic disaster. During this time, the graves of the Titanic’s crew and passengers have been eroded by time, lost, or damaged. The British Titanic Society is looking for your help to restore a number of graves, to ensure the memory of the Titanic and those who travelled upon her stay alive.

Trevor Baxter, BTS Graves Co-ordinator, said:

I began researching Titanic gravesites & memorials over 20 years ago, and have located in excess of 700; around half of those in the UK… When I brought the idea of this new project to the attention of the British Titanic Society, I was thrilled to discover that the officers of the committee were just as enthusiastic.

 

With your help, we hope to maintain, replace, and restore the graves and memorials of Titanic’s passengers and crew.

  • Restore graves that are badly damaged
  • Replace graves that have become lost
  • Maintain graves to ensure passengers and crew are remembered

You can visit TitanicMap to see all the graves and memorials of Titanic passengers and crew, alongside museums, exhibitions, and business named after the Titanic.
