The Maiden voyage of the Titanic was scheduled to consist of four trips: from Southampton to Cherbourg, then continue to Queenstown, across the Atlantic Ocean to New York, then finally back to Belfast.
Cross-Channel
1647 passengers embarked at Southampton. Only 24 of them paid for a trip to France; disembarking in Cherbourg. Titanic arrived one hour late into Cherbourg because of a near-collision in Southampton with the SS New York. One passenger, scheduled to embark in Cherbourg, still missed the boat despite the hout delay. Frank Carlson's car broke down and Titanic left without him, however his name remained on the passenger list and was erroneously added to the list of missing people after the disaster.

Ireland
On the second part of the maiden voyage, some steering trials were undertaken. It seemed like Titanic could turn very quickly once a maneuver was initiated. It took the necessary time to start turning.
In Queenstown, most of the 123 embarked passengers were steerage. 7 passengers, all First Class passengers who boarded at Southampton, left the ship. Fireman John Coffey also left the ship: he basically only wanted a free trip to Ireland and deserted. These 8 people had no idea they escaped one of mankind's greatest disasters.
Atlantic westbound
The 1911-1912 winter had been one of the warmest in ages and there was much more drifting ice than normal. Captain Smith must have known the area was dangerous even for the largest moving object ever created by men. However, he had no choice but to go to New York, over 2200 passengers & crew counted on him to bring them there.
