The year 2012 marked the 100th anniversary of the sinking on April 14-15, 1912, of the British luxury passenger liner the RMS Titanic. The vessel sank during its maiden voyage, en route to New York City from Southampton, England, when it hit an iceberg, killing more than 1,500 passengers and ship personnel.
On the 15th at the site of the Titanic’s sinking, the ships plan to hold “a memorial service at 2:20 a.m. to commemorate the 100th year anniversary and to pay tribute to all the brave passengers and crew on board that fateful night.”
The Balmoral is scheduled to then finish the Titanic’s never-completed trip, docking in Halifax on April 16 and New York City on the 19th.
