At the time of launching on April 10, 1912 at noon time, over 100,000 people had gathered on the banks of the Lagan River to see the Titanic off. On board the enormous triple-screw steamer were the social elite from all walks of life, indulging in the most luxurious boat ride of their lives. Benjamin Gugenheim, John Jacob Astor, Charles Hays, Archibald Gracie and countless other high profile passengers embarked on that ominous journey, never to return home.
