Did You Know?
The Titanic sailed from Southampton on 10 April 1912, and around 700 of its roughly 900 crew came from the city. Some streets lost a resident from nearly every house.
The clock: Southampton keeps GMT and BST, and has a double high tide — the tidal pattern gives it an unusually long period of high water, which is why it became a deep-water liner port.
