| Titanic |
Today April 15, 2012 marks the 100years the ill-fated Titanic ship hit an iceberg and sank. More than 1,500 people who died in the accident were from Southampton and as a result, over 650 descendants of those on board gathered for a ceremony at the same berth on the city's docks where the Titanic set sail on April 10, 1912.
various activities greeted the event ranges from throwing of flowers and wreaths into the water where the White Star liner left port, to a moment of silence for the victim and a dockside service which was ended with the hymn "Nearer My God To Thee," said to have been played by the ship's musicians as Titanic sank.
