The Women's Titanic Memorial of Washington, DC

The Women's Titanic Memorial of Washington, DC is one of the city attractions you don't often hear about. That’s because it’s located well away from the hustle and bustle. Settled alongside Washington Channel in the quietude of DC's Southwest Waterfront area, the granite memorial honors the men who sacrificed themselves that women and children might be saved during the famous RMS Titanic disaster of 1911.
