Southampton, this is a growing large university city with a history based on the docks, "The Gateway To The World", as British emigrants left from here, and tourists, on the cruise ships starting with the steam liners.. It was also the port of departure of the SS Titanic The Titanic sailed from her company's home port of Southampton on her maiden voyage on 10 April 1912. Five days later, in the early hours of 15 April, she sank with great loss of life after striking an iceberg. The disaster which made headlines across the world had a devastating effect on the people of Southampton. Most of the crew lived in the town and over 500 households lost at least one family member.
Every modern shop is here in the town, yet despite rebuilding after the Second World War, it has managed to preserve the medieval walls. From Bargate, with its turrets and museum, there are escorted walking tours. Some nice churches survived the bombing, including St Mary's, 19th century, the Norman St Michael's, and Holy Wood has a 14th century tower.
