Titanic is a name that draws recognition worldwide. In Southampton we remember the death of some 550 crew who lived in the town, following the ill-fated ship’s maiden voyage from the White Star Dock on April 10, 1912. In the years following the tragedy, many conspiracy theories have evolved together with ‘what if… ?’ scenarios. It is also interesting to note a number of Titanic coincidences – some mere quirks of fate, others a little more difficult to explain. Titanic was registered in Liverpool, home to the White Star Line until 1907, when the company moved its operation to Southampton. Our first coincidence concerns the running of the Grand National in Liverpool on April 14, 2012 – one hundred years to the day that Titanic hit the iceberg.
