Titanic's Maiden Voyage
This photo of the RMS Titanic was taken on April 10th, 1912 on the Titanic's maiden (and only) voyage leaving Southampton England. Tug boats are accompanying the ship out of the harbor.

The RMS Titanic left port with 2,224 people. 1,514 people died when she struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic on April 14, 1912 at 11:40p. While the sinking of the Titanic has always been attributed to hitting the iceberg, there is some current evidence that suggests that there may have been a problem in the boiler room that caused the collision.

She was advertised as being "unsinkable" but this obviously turned out to be untrue.
Date & Place: at Harbor in Southampton, England United Kingdom

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
