Titanic Memorial, Belfast It has been used as the site of annual commemorations of the "Titanic" disaster. For a while it was obscured by the Belfast Wheel that was removed in April 2010. It is now the centrepiece of a small "Titanic" memorial garden opened on 15 April 2012, the centenary of the disaster. Together with the garden, it is the only memorial in the world to commemorate all of the victims of the "Titanic", passengers and crew alike. Within days of the "Titanic" disaster, suggestions were put forward in Belfast that the local victims should be commemorated with a memorial. Belfast City
