113 years ago on April 2nd, Titanic underwent several hours of sea trials - or “turning circles” as 2nd Officer Charles Lightoller so plainly described them. This important series of maneuvers was meant to prove her seaworthiness to the British Board of Trade and was required by law. After a successful day of trials, Titanic departed Belfast, Ireland (with just one fare-paying passenger) for an overnight journey to Southampton, England where final preparations for her maiden voyage would be made.
