TITANIC - A Visual Timeline of Events

Have you ever wondered what Titanic was up to before the sinking? Today we’ll be taking a look at Titanic’s history as an Ocean Liner. Beginning in Belfast, we’ll see the ship undergo her sea trials to ensure everything is functioning properly. Then it’s off to Southampton where Titanic will dock for 6 days while she loads supplies for her maiden voyage. On the day of the voyage, she nearly collides with the liner SS New York but narrowly avoids it by 4 feet. After that hiccup, we’ll sail across the Channel to Cherbourg, France where the SS Nomadic and SS Traffic will ferry passengers out to the Titanic. Then it’s off to Queenstown, Ireland where the PS America and PS Ireland will ferry the last remaining passengers and cargo aboard. Titanic will then sail on into legend, sinking on April 14-15, 1912. Afterwards, With the survivors safely onboard Carpathia, she somberly sails back into New York under rainfall. 73 years later, Dr. Robert Ballard discovers the wrecksite and returns with the DSV Alvin and ROV Jason Jr. to further explore it. In 1995, 2001, & 2005, James Cameron makes dives to the wrecksite to gain footage for various films and documentaries. In 2010, Dr. David Gallo leads the team who uses ROVs and Sonar to map the entire wrecksite.
