Titanic Departs Southampton, Arrives in Cherbourg
112 years ago today, RMS Titanic departed Southampton, England to begin her maiden - and only voyage. This iconic moment has been recreated time and time again in films, TV shows, musicals, paintings, video games, and elsewhere. In memory of those aboard and those yet to board in Cherbourg and Queenstown, we submit this animation to join the collection.
To borrow words from one of the great departure recreations:
“Farewell, farewell. Godspeed, Titanic.”
Be sure to join us this Sunday for our 112th Anniversary Livestream featuring our first ever Real-Time Sinking IN-PERSON/online live event only on YouTube (@TitanicHG) starting at 9pm EDT.

I hope I have not overstepped the mark here. But I have added the Voice of TITANIC to this video. The actual sound of the TITANIC’s No1 Funnel. Salvaged in 1993 & played to a 100,000 crowd in 1997. They used compressed air, not steam to activate the whistles. I added the sound to the clip of the No1 Funnel whistles activated in the video. As TITANIC leaves the wall. The video is a private link, and is not in the public domain. I will take it down if TITANIC & H&G say so. https://vimeo.com/936208746/595ce5ba10
I love seeing other modelers jumping on board this amazing project. Tub boats, tenders all modeled to the same high standard and animated by Jack! Stunning.
Amazing
Great video! Thank you for all the hard work!
Too bad the New York incident wasn't recreated
I wish they had it too.
Getting Ken Marschall goosebumps with these and I love it!
It’s beautiful. I love what you’re doing 🩷
