"Ship of Dreams"

As Rose Dawson said in the 1997 film;
"It's been eighty-four years... and I can still smell the fresh paint. The china had never been used. The sheets had never been slept in. Titanic was called the "Ship of Dreams". And she was. She really was..."
The air had a new smell in it as 2200 people arrived in Southampton harbour at lunchtime on April 10th 1912. Three doors were open on the port side of RMS Titanic, each one with a long walkway spanning the gap over the water and into the ship. Passengers from 1st, 2nd and 3rd class gaped in awe at the size of the superliner. Many of them, mostly 1st class, had already travelled aboard the Olympic from America, and now were planning their way home again on board her sister. Others in the remaining classes were either going to America on holiday, or planning on starting a new life with family in a whole new world of skyscrapers and Burger Kings.
Then, as the final people clambered aboard, the doors clamped shut, and the rigging ropes were thrown to wind. There was a great churning beneath the water as the propellers began to spin and the ship sailed off towards the USA.
But, a precourser of things to come occured.
A small tug boat, caught in the turbulence of the three giant bronze propellers, broke free from it's rigging and pulled away from the harbour. It almost collided with the great ship itself, had it not been for another tug that slowly nudged the tug back into place.
The Titanic continued on her journey.
A journey that would change the world forever.
