SIRENS sounded across Southampton port at exactly 12pm today to mark the 100th anniversary of the moment the ill-fated White Star Liner, Titanic, left the dockside.
A recording of the Titanic's whistle gave three long blasts to signify the moment a century ago that she slipped her mooring to leave Southampton docks for a date with history.
A large audience of invited guests including relatives of those who travelled on Titanic attended a moving ceremony at the city's Ocean Terminal at dock gate four where the great liner left from.
Meridian Tonight presenter Fred Dinenage, who lost a great uncle when the ship sank on the night of April 14 and morning of April 15 was host for the event.
Music was provided by the Southampton Choral Society and the Royal Marines Association Concert Band.
The guests were taken through a moving account of the Titanic's story and in particular how the sinking cost so many lives of the crew from Southampton.
After prayers, wreath laying on the water was led by the Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire, Dame Mary Fagan.
The entire audience were later presented with a single rose to cast into the sea as their own mark of remembrance.
The event was organised in association with Southampton Solent University and was also supported by the Daily Echo and Southampton City Council.
I experienced a once-in-a-lifetime when Titanics Whistles was blown after the St. Paul, Minnesota, Titanic exhibit in 1999. They expected around two thousand but it was established that over ten thousand was there. There was such an awesome response from the crowd they blew them a second time. It was so awesome to hear Titanic's voice once again after 87 years but was also really haunting due to such a great loss of life. They stated that they would never be blown again.
She's still on her maiden voyage her ghost still sails the seas rip Titanic we miss u she always holds a place in my heart
..In my heart too!🙌🏼🙌🏼
...She's a ill-fated legendary ocean liner... .
Titanic will always be remembered she will never be forgotten to this day. She is still selling the seas as a ghost titanic always be remembered I just want to burst tears out, remembering those lives that were lost.
Olympic is far better than Taitanic
@@papaichakravarti9895That's your opinion 🤷♀️.Btw,this video is about Titanic.
@@KG-ds2fj ok
It’s eerie to hear her horn after so many years. It’s like her ghost arriving back to her home.
Thats not her real horn
I know that but it’s nice to imagine what her real horn may have sounded like.
Some lessons have been learnt since the Titanic disaster others have not. In 1912 the White Star Line billed relatives of crew members who lost there lives that fateful night for the loss of Uniforms. Recently P&O ferries fired our Maritime Workers on the spot and replaced them with Agency Workers on pittance of a wage. It’s a shame to think that Companies still think and work that way after 110 years.
Horrendous!!!
I watched this on April 10th 2019, the 107th year since the titanic set sail on its maiden voyage
Titanic heroes engineer keep the electricity on as much as possible for the ship to arrive
It’s crazy to think this was over 100 years ago. We’re all getting old so quick 😢😭
