And on this day in 1912 Titanic collided with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton,U.K. to New York,U.S.
Yes, it's a large picture, but interesting to look at her up close, as she was.
This photograph is the last known picture of RMS Titanic on the surface of the ocean. It was taken during her maiden voyage at Crosshaven, Ireland, just after the vessel departed Queenstown where it had stopped before heading westwards towards New York. Photo taken on April 12th, 1912.
According to Time Magazine this photo was taken by Irish Jesuit priest Francis Browne who sailed with the ship for the first leg of its journey, from Southampton (England) to Cobh (Ireland) then called Queenstown. The priest would have stayed for the remainder of the transatlantic journey too, having received an offer of a ticket from a wealthy family he befriended while on board. When Browne reached Cobh, however, he received a note from his clerical superior, ordering him to return to his station immediately rather than sail on with Titanic.
Interesting fact:
The fourth funnel was just for show, it had no real purpose. Actually while it served no purposes as an exhaust for the boilers rooms, it did serve as an extra ventilation shaft and vent system for the galley. The ventilation shafts did not require the funnel, the foruth funnel was more about the prestige, just for show. The designers thought the ship would look more impressive with four funnels rather than three.
