The maiden voyage began on time at noon. An accident was narrowly averted only a few minuteslater as Titanic passed the moored liners SS City of New York and Oceanic. Her huge displacement
caused both of the smaller ships to be lifted by a bulge of water, then dropped into a trough. NewYork's mooring cables could not take the sudden strain and snapped, swinging her round stern-firsttowards Titanic. A nearby tugboat, Vulcan, came to the rescue by taking New York under tow and
Captain Smith ordered Titanic's engines to be put 'full astern'. The two ships only avoided acollision by a matter of about 4 feet (1.2 m). The incident delayed Titanic's departure for about an
hour while the drifting New York was brought under control

SS Californian, which had tried to warn Titanic of the danger from pack-ice. SS Californian had been
only a few miles from Titanic but had not picked up her distress calls or responded to her signal
rockets for which her captain and crew came under immense criticism.
Californian had warned the Titanic by radio of the pack ice which was the reason Californian had
stopped for the night, but was rebuked by Titanic's senior wireless operator, Jack Phillips

In this April 1912 file photo, crowds gather around the bulletin board of the New York American
newspaper, where the names of people rescued from the sinking Titanic are displayed. It was a
news story that would change the news. From the moment that a brief Associated Press dispatch
relayed the wireless distress call _ 'Titanic ... reported having struck an iceberg. The steamer said
that immediate assistance was required' _ reporters and editors scrambled. In ways that seem
familiar today, they adapted a dawning newsgathering technology and organized saturation
coverage and managed to cover what one authority calls 'the first really, truly international news
event where anyone anywhere in the world could pick up a newspaper and read about it.' AP

The iceberg buckled the plates, popping rivets and damaging a sequence of compartments. An
engineer from Titanic's builders, Harland and Wolff, suggested this scenario at a British enquiry
following the disaster but his view was discounted. Recent research and exploration by unmanned
submersible have proved his theory right

This memorial stone is the second and original Titanic memorial in Southampton, erected on the
site of the Central City Library. However, this one is a replica. The original was destroyed by the
Luftwaffe (German Air Force) in 1940 (during World War 2) together with the library on this site.
Most people associate the Titanic memorial with the other, larger one to the Titanic engineer
officers; and that usually gets most attention. Few people know that this smaller one exists. This
replica was erected 1990 when the bombsite was finally cleared and rebuilt

The bow of the wrecked RMS Titanic, photographed in June 2004. It has been estimated that within
the next 50 years the hull and structure of Titanic will collapse entirely, eventually leaving only the
more durable interior fittings of the ship intermingled with a pile of rust on the sea floor.
