Southampton 1900
"Unemployment at the start of the 20th Century was very high in the city. The White Star Dock was built to house the 3 great liners built by Harland & Wolff. Local people hoped the arrival of the Titanic would create new jobs and revive the fortunes of the city."
724 of the crew who served on the RMS Titanic came from Southampton and the surrounding area. Just 175 survived the sinking. To discover what life was like in a British sea port at the turn of the 20th Century and why the city still commemorates to this day the loss of the ship, its crew and passengers click on the image below.
