100 years ago today (Thursday, 11 April 1912)
At 11:30am the Titanic arrives in Queenstown, Ireland and sets anchor in the harbor. Seven passengers disembark; 120 embark.
At 1:30pm, the anchor is raised and the Titanic begins her maiden Trans-Atlantic crossing with a destination of New York City.
Souls on board: 2,229 (325 first class; 285 second class; 706 third class; and 913 crew). (Note there are some discrepancies in the various lists.)
The Titanic and 2/3 of those aboard her will never again reach dry land.
