Titanic’s Southampton Departure | Animated 112 Years Later

112 years ago today, the 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.” Be sure to join us this Sunday for our 112th Anniversary Livestream featuring our first ever Real-Time Sinking LIVE EVENT only on YouTube (@TitanicHG) starting at 9pm ET.
