Let's Talk Titanic

112 years ago today, RMS Titanic departed Southampton, England to begin her maiden - and only voyage. This iconic moment has been recreated time and time again in films, TV shows, musicals, paintings, video games, and elsewhere. In memory of those aboard and those yet to board in Cherbourg and Queenstown, we submit this animation to join the collection.

To borrow words from one of the great departure recreations:

“Farewell, farewell. Godspeed, Titanic.”

TITANIC NEWS...

"RMS Titanic, Inc., the salvor-in-possession of the Titanic wreck site, will soon be conducting a research-focused expedition using remotely operated vehicles to capture high-resolution images of the wreck site and surrounding debris field. As part of our partnership with RMST, we are excited to announce that our team of researchers, 3D artists, and Titanic enthusiasts will be providing our assistance to this incredible endeavor.

RMST has graciously included our team in the planning process for this expedition and has asked for a list of recommendations to work into their dive schedule - recommendations that may aid our ongoing effort to recrate Titanic in a virtual world. Being that so much of Titanic remains a mystery to this day, this is an opportunity of a lifetime for our team.

But we hope to make this an opportunity for our community as well.

During our April 14th Real-Time Anniversary Livestream, we will announce how our community can participate in the upcoming expedition to Titanic. We will provide an email address to which Titanic enthusiasts everywhere can send their ideas and their most pressing wreck site questions. We will then sift through these ideas and submit our favorites to the expedition team. Who knows, your curiosity may lead to discovery!

So join us on April 14th for our Real-Time Anniversary Livestream and have your ideas ready to submit! The stream begins at 9:00PM EDT only on YouTube @TitanicHG.

We are so appreciate of RMS Titanic, Inc. and their genuine desire to expand our community's knowledge of Titanic and we look forward to working with them in the North Atlantic!"

112 Years Ago: Titanic was dressed in her signal flags to greet the people of Southampton on her first day in port. This occasion is often assumed to be a celebration of Good Friday but has since been confirmed as taking place on Thursday, April the 4th.

112 years ago tonight, Titanic arrived at Berth 44 in Southampton, England where she would stay for 6 days before her maiden departure.

Over the course of the week, she would be further fitted out with extra furnishings, fresh paint and even ivy for the walls of the Cafe Parisien.

Folks! We're posting on this blog after 2.5 years because a lot of things have been happening, and this April will be a good one for Titanic Enthusiasts. With that being said...

Welcome to “A MONTH TO REMEMBER.” 31 days of Titanic animations, announcements, documentaries, lectures and livestreams brought to you by TITANIC: HONOR AND GLORY and our partners.

To kick off the month, we begin where Titanic once began...

Titanic was comprised of many thousands of steel structural elements, but all of that rested upon a keel which had to be built before everything else. The very first pieces of the keel that had to be laid down in the Arrol Gantry were the keel bars, long slabs of steel some 9.5 x 3 inches thick that formed the very bottom and center of the ship.

And so, 115 years ago today, the first piece of the keel was laid for Harland and Wolff’s 401st ship on a cold slipway in Belfast. Humble beginnings for a 46,000-ton ship that will one day captivate the world.
