Titanic Centenary - Southampton Remembers!

At 11.40pm on the 14th April 1912 RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic, near Newfoundland.

Of the 1523 people who lost their lives 549 came from Southampton.

100 years after the tragic sinking of the White Star liner RMS Titanic, Southampton city recognises our unique link to the tragedy. The disaster struck at the heart of Southampton as hundreds of city residents went down with the fated vessel. Events across the city give you the chance to connect with the voices of the past that echo through history, telling the story of that disastrous night.

Passing through the historic heart of town, it features monuments such as the Bargate and Titanic memorials while the many businesses along it make it the economic heart of the city.

Titanic Grave Walks 
The Old Southampton Cemetery is one of England’s earliest municipal cemeteries and is located on the Southampton Common. The cemetery is in itself important historically as a record of the people of Southampton and over the years a great diversity of wildlife has developed in it. The city council maintains the cemetery in such a way as to preserve the diversity of flora and fauna, whilst maintaining its historical interest, and its continuing as a burial ground. Friends of Southampton Old Cemetery (FoSOC) organise guided walks and activities throughout the year.
