VAN98081306 - 13 AUG 98 - VANCOUVER, B.C. CANADA: A postcard size photo taken by Chief docks engineer Henry William Clarke of the Titanic leaving Southhampton Dock April 10, 1912 on the river Test for her maiden trans-oceanic voyage. The photo, one of the last taken of the ship, was donated to the Vancouver Maritime museum in 1968 by Clarke's daughter Mrs. R.H. Hooper of Richmond, B.C., where it languished in the museum's photo collection for 30 years. With the current resurgence of Titanic popularity Jim Delgado, the museum's executive director dusted it off to make a larger copy print for the Titanic exhibit after verifying it's authenticity with Ken Marschall, a Titanic expert and illustrator in Long Beach, Calif. hr/Heinz Ruckemann UPI | License Photo

NEW YORK, Oct. 6 (UPI) -- A Titanic Memorial Cruise is scheduled to sail exactly 100 years after the ill-fated voyage on April 10, 1912, the cruise's organizers said.

The memorial cruise's ship, the Balmoral, will track the route of the Titanic, CNN reported Tuesday.


Leaving from Southampton, England, the Balmoral will arrive at the location in the North Atlantic Ocean where the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank three hours later, killing more than 1,500 of the 2,223 people onboard, Miles Morgan Travel, the trip's organizer said in New York.

The Balmoral's passengers will at that spot participate in a memorial service, then proceed to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada to visit the burial places of some of the Titanic victims and complete their 12-night trip in New York, where the Titanic had been scheduled to end its voyage, the trip's organizer said.

Fares for the excursion begin at $3,900, the organizer said.
