50 Images From The Titanic You Have To See To Believe

Southampton lost a lot of Residents

After leaving the Thompson wharf for its maiden voyage, the Titanic’s next stop was Southampton, from where more passengers hopped on board. The Southampton port was a major transatlantic crossing point at the time; it linked so many cities and places, including London and Britain.

As a result, few cities were as affected by the sinking of the Titanic as Southampton; a lot of the ship’s crew were originally from Southampton, and in the end, more than 500 residents of the city lost their lives to the tragedy.
