RMS Olympic arriving in Queenstown
On April 11th, 1912, at 11:30 A.M., RMS Titanic dropped anchor in Queenstown. Tenders PS Ireland and PS America were waiting in the dock to transport 123 passengers out to board - 63 men and 60 women, for many of whom Queenstown was the gateway to a great new world. Several notoable people of status in First Class, the crème de la crème, had boarded at Cherbourg. Passengers boarding at Queenstown consisted of only 3 First Class, just 7 from Second Class, and 113 passengers holding Third Class tickets.
This is the pier where the Queenstown passengers boarded tenders.
Some people who boarded Titanic in Southampton left here, with the most famous one being Francis Browne, a pater in First Class that became known for his photographs he made on board.
