Maiden Voyage

Titanic...a statement of Man's Ambitious Achievement, was met with cheers from the thousands of onlookers who bid her a safe passage as she sailed at Noon (10.04.1912) from Southampton. A journey that should have taken less than a week, ended tragically 4 nights into her Maiden Voyage. Shortly after, Newspapers began to portray the loss that was felt the World over.
