RSM Titanic

On 10 April 1912 the Titanic was leaving Southampton. Four days after the departure the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on 15 April 1912. This tragedy caused 1502 deaths and was one of the most remembered tragedies that occurred in the XX century. Nowadays the Titanic is still attracting people who wonder about what happened that tragic day.

Southampton was the city most affected by this tragedy, not only because it was the departure city, also because many of the passengers where families from this city. Because of that reason in Southampton there is a Museum dedicated to the victims of the disaster and is opened for people who wants to learn more about the Titanic.

The name of the museum is Seacity Museum and it has other exhibitions beside the Titanic expositions but it is specialized on it. In your visit to this museum you will see the Disaster Room that describes the events that occurred since the ship hit the iceberg and sink until the passengers were rescued.  You also will be able to find more about the British inquire that was conducted in London after the disaster.

We think that the catastrophe of the Titanic has supposed an increment in the tourism of Southampton, because many people wanted to know how was possible the sag of the ‘’unsinkable’’ ship, the Titanic, the ship of dreams.
