The previous post was two years old, so I went to Wikipedia and found out that the plaque Maddie Matthews wanted was unveiled on the centennial anniversary of the Titanic's sinking, just as she had wanted. The slate plaque is in Barmouth, Gwynedd, Wales, and is inscribed in both English and Welsh with picture of Harold Rowe and the Titanic.
It reads: "In Commemoration of 5th Officer Harold Godfrey Lowe who left Barmouth aged 14 to go to sea. He played a heroic role in the rescue of survivors during the sinking of RMS Titanic on 15th April 1912."
The plaque was unveiled by his grandson, Captain John Lowe.
Glad to See It Came About. --DaCoot
