Captain Scott Memorial - Cardiff, Wales, Great Britain, - Maritime Monuments and Memorials on Waymarking.com

The Scott memorial is located in Roath Park, Cardiff, South Wales.
"In June 1910, Captain Robert Falcon Scott set sail from Cardiff on his tragic expedition to the Antarctic. Berthing in Cardiff docks for six days as an acknowledgement of the considerable financial support raised locally.

Three years after his death in 1912, the people of Cardiff raised a monument to Scott in Roath Park lake, in the form of a lighthouse with a small replica of his ship, S.S. Terra Nova in which he made his last fateful journey." Text Source: (visit link)

A plaque on the side of the tower states that it is dedicated to the memory of Captain Scott and his companions who sailed from Cardiff in 1910 and died in the Antarctic in 1912 noting that they were BRITONS ALL, AND VERY GALLANT GENTLEMEN
