Travel Newfoundland’s Titanic Trail - from Signal Hill to Cape Race - during the exciting days leading up to the Cape Race Receiving Titanic Commemorations.
Receiving Titanic Centennial Symposium (April 11 – 16, 2012): Join us for this participatory travel adventure featuring the Titanic highlights of St. John’s, Cape Race, and eastern Newfoundland.
April is a time of unpredictable weather. On April 14/15, 1912 the cold air caused hypothermia among many Titanic passengers in lifeboats. Sea conditions changed from calm to treacherous later on during that tragic night and one lifeboat with 13 passengers overturned with all hands lost as Carpathia attempted to rescue them. The order of events for this itinerary may be changed for your comfort and safety to accommodate the weather and other factors.
