Southamptons Sea City Museum

The Sea City Museum here tell the story of the Titanic disaster, from the point of view of Southampton.   The ship crewed up here, over 400 of it's citizens lost their lives, there was scarcely a block that did not lose someone, mostly young men, really and entire generation of young men was lost, this city was vastly more affected than any other.

The museum has a fantastic, large model of the Queen Mary, home-ported here her whole career, now in Long Beach, Ca.
