What happened in the last voyage-The TITANIC story




The largest ship afloat at the time, the Titanic sank in the north Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912, after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. A century on, throughout the city there are still individual memorials to victims - engineers, musicians, postal workers - and buildings intimately linked to the events of April 2012 . A coal strike in 1914 had left thousands out of work in Southampton, so when the world's most luxurious liner began recruiting crew on Saturday 6 April, it was the hottest ticket in town.

A few years back , Toyota launched the " Toyota Glanza ", which is essentially a rebadged Maruti Suzuki Baleno.  It was a part of the Toyota – Suzuki Collaboration to leverage each other's products to multiply their sales.

Such was the euphoria that it has become a red letter day for all of us. With all exhilaration and jubilation we started our day from 7 AM amidst a bright sunny Morning. The search for bike rental was the first thing on the cards which was supposed to be arranged in the previous day but our fatigue had roiled our plan.
