The Titanic first leaves the port from Southamton to New York

112

years ago

10 April 1912,

The Titanic first left the port of Southamton to New York. The problems started relatively quickly, as the supply of coal could not be carried out in the desired way and, in addition, a fire in the coal company forced the speed of the packaging to fall. However, the owner of the ship wanted to arrive on the day indicated, with advertising intentions, and wanted to speed up. The night of 14 April struck an iceberg. The ship sank completely and nearly 1,500 people lost their lives.
