Description: | The model of Southampton docks shows the present layout of the docks. The model traces the history of the building of the docks from the end of the eighteenth century to the present day.
This particular photograph shows Ocean Dock which in 1911 was formally called White Star Dock. It was especially opened for the White Star company after it moved from Liverpool to Southampton in 1907. It was however renamed Ocean Dock when Cunard Line moved to Southampton in 1919 and merged with the White Star Company. It was from this dock that Titanic sailed from on her maiden voyage bound for New York City, April 10 1912. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Hampshire Library and Information Service - Hampshire County Council | Subjects: | maritime history Cunard Line maritime museum, White Star Line White Star Line Titanic Southampton Docks | Temporal: | start=2004-08-09; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Zoe Darani, Hampshire Library and Information Service | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
