SOUTHAMPTON
A leading maritime city on the South coast of England surrounded by beautiful Hampshire countryside and steeped in history. Originally a Roman settlement, but it derives its name from the Anglo-Saxon settlement Hamwic, which evolved into Hampton.
It has many ancient buildings, including the Bargate in the heart of the city centre, which is 800 years old and is one of the country’s finest medieval town gates. It now houses a contemporary art gallery and the well renowned Bargate markets. Other historical buildings include the Medieval Merchants house, built in 1290 and restored to its mid-14th century appearance, Tudor House and Garden built in 1495 and The Wool House, a medieval warehouse built in the 14th century, which houses the Maritime Museum.
The Maritime museum houses the Titanic Exhibition, the story of the ill-fated luxury cruise liner that sank on her maiden voyage in 1912. There are several memorials to the many crew and passengers in the city including one in Holy Rood church, which dates back to the 14th century.
Other famous ships that have left Southampton on historic journeys include the Pilgrim Fathers who left on board the Mayflower in 1620 to travel to the New World.
Southampton is now regarded as the Cruise Capital of Northern Europe and famous liners such as the Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth 2 and the Canberra frequently docked here. It is the home of P+O Cruises, Cunard and is frequently visited by liners from many of the famous cruising fleets and has seen an unprecedented number of ship namings in recent years, including the Queen Mary 2, the Oriana and the Arcadia.
