The Titanic called at Cherbourg for two hours on the evening of the day she sailed from Southampton - Wednesday April 10, 1912. Just under 300 passengers joined the ship here, including such famous names as John Jacob Astor IV, Benjamin Guggenheim, and “the unsinkable” Molly Brown.
The Titanic exhibit is in Cherbourg’s former Transatlantic terminal, part of the Cité de la Mer, a huge facility that incorporates a decommissioned nuclear submarine, the Redoutable; an extensive history of underwater exploration and several large aquariums.
