Uncover the Legacy of the Titanic
In the first of our self-guided walks we focus on the Titanic. Southampton has become synonymous with the Titanic and with good reason. The ill-fated ship set sail from here on 10th April 1912 with 2,223 people on board. Of the 1,517 that lost their lives, more than a third, 549 of them, were from Southampton. 2012 will mark the centenary of that tragic event.
The Southampton waterfront has many connections to the Titanic and in our self-guided tour we hope to show you some of these and to provide you with some interesting information along the way. This walk should take you approximately two to three hours to complete going at a fairly leisurely pace. So go ahead, put on some comfortable shoes and let us set out and explore the enduring link between Southampton and the Titanic.
We hope that that you will find the first of our self-guided walks entertaining and informative.
