unsinkable. On April 10th ,1912, the Titanic set sail from Southampton on her maiden voyage across the Atlantic destined for New York. Aboard were over 2,200 passengers and crew (an absence of a definitive list of all passengers and crew varies this number). After stopping at Cherbourg in France and then at Queenstown in Ireland to pick up other passengers, she set sail for her destination. Life aboard the ship was luxurious for those travelling first class and many well-travelled passengers felt that the second class cabins and staterooms on the liner were of the quality of first class cabins on other ships. Even the third or steerage class was felt to be the best that had ever been designed.
