R.M.S. Titanic Centennial Observance Event
Titanic: The Journey Begins
R.M.S. Titanic got underway on her own power for the first time on 2 April 1912, and proceeded to Belfast Lough for sea trials. To commemorate the R.M.S. Titanic and those who sailed on her, we are announcing an event, “Titanic: The Journey Begins”, will bring you Titanic’s progress from leaving for sea trials to the loss of the ship. Each event in the short life of R.M.S. Titanic will be announced at the exact time it took place 100 years ago.
Also, as a part of “Titanic: The Journey Begins” we will bring you a guest author, a talk related to Titanic, movies (some you have probably never seen), photos (some not seen often), 1912 news reels from the loss of Titanic, door prizes, free downloads, and more. As we get closer to April we will announce more details.

Unfortunately we will not be able to send a press release at the exact historic moment; but everyone who is following us on this website, or through facebook, linkedin, and twitter will receive a notice of the scheduled release at the exact time that event took place 100 years ago. There will be a link on this page to everything that we release for the Centennial Observance so you may also come back at your leisure and see what you missed.
After our Centennial Observance is completed, this page and the entire event, will be available under the RMS Titanic tab which you may access from our home page.
