As you walked south from the “Starting Point” plaque to this location on the St. Clair River Boardwalk, the brass plaque marked Titanic on the boardwalk represents the bow of this famous and ill-fated ship.. The brass plaque at the Starting Point represents the stern or back of every ship included in this walking tour. By looking back to the starting point, you are able to get an estimate of the size or 883 ft. length of the Titanic.
