RMS Titanic departing Southampton on April 10

This iconic photograph captures the RMS Titanic as she leaves Southampton on 10 April 1912, embarking on her first and only transatlantic voyage. The ship, hailed as the largest and most luxurious liner of her time, was the pride of the White Star Line and symbolised the zenith of early 20th-century maritime engineering.

🚢 A Moment in History:
On this very day, Titanic set sail with over 2,200 passengers and crew, bound for New York City. Just four days later, on 15 April 1912, she struck an iceberg and tragically sank in the North Atlantic, with the loss of more than 1,500 lives. The event remains one of the most profound maritime disasters in peacetime history.
