T108

Sailing day arrives at last! A lifeboat drill takes place before passengers arrive to meet the requirements of the British Board of Trade. The drill takes half an hour and is deemed a success.

The ship's first passengers arrived and began boarding between 0930-1100. Just after noon Titanic moves away from her berth. The force of her motion creates a suction that draws the New York toward her side.
Tugboats act quick and manage to get New York under control before she collides. The voyage continues, and Titanic arrives later that evening in Cherbourg Harbor, where she takes on additional passengers and cargo. For 108 years Titanic has maintained a powerful hold on the imagination of JA606, welcoming hundreds of new passengers 108 years later.
