It was exactly 100 years ago, on April 10th 1912, when the ill-fated Titanic sailed from the English port city of Southampton.
And the mood was suitably somber on tuesday, when a series of events were held there in honor of the ship's anniversary. More than 650 descendants of those onboard met for ceremony at the exact same place where the Titanic set sail. Southampton was home to more than a third of the more than 1500 people who died when the ship hit an iceberg and sank on 15th April, 1912, during its maiden voyage to New York.
Those who gathered threw flowers and wreaths into the water, before a minute of silence.
