The second largest man-made harbor in the world at the time, Cherbourg-Octeville was the first stop on the Titanic’s maiden voyage. Titanic arrived in Cherbourg in the late afternoon. Two tenders, Nomadic and Traffic, transported 281 passengers from the dock to the fated liner which was moored in Cherbourg’s harbor. The dock was later renamed after an American General by the name of Lawton-Collins whose men freed Cherbourg during World War II. In Cherbourg, a plaque was unveiled by Louise Laroche in memory of the passengers who’d boarded the RSM Titanic.
