the city of Cobh, the last port of call before the Titanic's first and final voyage

the ticket office of the White Star Lines

When I was standing before these gates I couldn't help but feel the presence of the

all passengers who went through these gates with high hopes of starting a new

life in American. The excitement, the sorrow of leaving family and friends, wondering

what the days ahead would hold for them! And not one knowing the horror that

awaited them.

maiden and final voyage, April 11, 1912.

sailed out of the harbor. The last view of their country.
