Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. Tonight we mark 100 | :00:08. | :00:16. | |
years since the Titanic set sail from Southampton. A poignant moment | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
as the ship is heard once again. A new generation remembers more than | :00:21. | :00:30. | |
700 people from the city, the many who died and the few who survived. | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
I think he would have felt scared for himself, but happy that he was | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
doing the right thing for other people. The tragic tale of the | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
young men from the New Forest looking for a new life in a new | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
world. We'll also have other news of the | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
day, and in sport, he's back Steve Coppell returns to football after | :00:46. | :00:56. | |
:00:56. | :01:09. | ||
Good evening from a special edition of South Today. 100 years ago today, | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
the world's most famous ship set out on her maiden voyage. Four days | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
later RMS Titanic struck an iceberg and more than 1,500 people lost | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
their lives, people from Newbury, Oxford and Slindon in West Sussex. | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
But the biggest human impact was in Southampton. A third of all the | :01:27. | :01:37. | |
:01:37. | :01:39. | ||
victims lived in the city. One event brought more than 500 | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
children together to learn the history of the Titanic. Many of the | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
children paraded outside the BBC building. Some of them taking part | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
were commemorating a special family connection. | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
A sea of faces, a see if stories, a placard for each of the crew | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
members to look into a fountain. The city's schoolchildren have | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
discovering -- been discovering the crews' at stories but some new them | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
by heart. 10 year-old Abigail Grimsted has travelled from pence | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
to remember her great-great-great uncle, John Hume. He was the first | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
violinist in the orchestra. He and the band were very brave because | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
they played and the Titanic were sinking to try and calm the people | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
who could not get off the boat. I think he would have felt scared for | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
himself, but happy that he was doing the right thing. For other | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
people. Preparations for the parade have made for the best kind of | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
history lesson. My dad was helping people to get on to the lifeboat, | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
and by the time it was his turn, there were no lifeboats left. | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
year-old Riley Fricker is carrying a placard for steward Sidney | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
Daniels who survived after diving into the water. Today, he met his | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
daughter. I am so proud of you, and my dad would be really proud of you. | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
His story is so -- told in the new Sea City Museum, and include an | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
interview at he recorded 30 years ago which he and her daughter heard | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
for that first time today. We saw the water coming up the bridge like | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
that. I was trying to leave. I jumped over the rail and dived into | :03:18. | :03:27. | |
the water. What do you think? something. Quite something. And now | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
your dad is a bit of history. I hope he would be pleased. Today's | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
parade ended with the opening of the museum, where the group a' | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
stories will live on. It is a celebration of the boat and | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
everyone involved. It is a huge tribute to people on the Titanic. I | :03:48. | :03:58. | |
:03:58. | :04:05. | ||
think today is celebration. We are having a few technical | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
problems tonight. We have a good many stories to tell about the | :04:09. | :04:19. | |
Titanic. Titanic set sail at noon. You can see the details here in the | :04:19. | :04:29. | |
:04:29. | :04:35. | ||
dock's master records which it's WHISTLE SOUNDS. | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
A salute in sound. But Hallett's whistle echoed around the docks | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
once more, but this was a recording after the whistle was recovered | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
from the sea bed. Others sit -- ships in the dock answered in kind. | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
A flotilla of ships left the birth occupied by Titanic. It was led by | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
a vessel of Assyria -- similar era, the tender tug Calshot, which used | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
to work with Titanic's sister ship Olympic. SS Shieldhall and several | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
small craft joined the possession. You get a lump in the throat | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
because you realise the massive tragedy for the port of Southampton | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
at a loss of Titanic was. You cannot help but think of the people, | :05:17. | :05:24. | |
particularly as I was an engineer, the engineers that died. Around 700 | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
invited guests attended the commemorative event at the Ocean | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
Terminal. Leaves and roses work -- reads and roses were cast into the | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
water as remembrance. We hope to join Sally Taylor at DEC | :05:38. | :05:48. | |
:05:48. | :05:50. | ||
Sea City Museum in Southampton in a Police have cordoned off an area of | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
woodland at Chilworth in Southampton after a body was found | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
in a burnt out car in the early hours of the morning. Detectives | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
have been carrying out house to house inquiries in the area. | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
Rachael Canter reports. The alarm was raised after | :06:03. | :06:13. | |
:06:13. | :06:14. | ||
firefighters were called to the car fire in Chilworth at 130 am. There | :06:14. | :06:21. | |
were what sounded like gunshots, or small explosions. These went on for, | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
I suppose, about half an hour or so. Sporadically, intermittently, | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
through that time. We looked out the windows to see if we could see | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
anything, and we could not. We did establish that the noises were | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
coming from very close by. A body was discovered in the burning car, | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
but has not been identified. The scene has been cordoned off and | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
police have spent the day carrying out house-to-house inquiries. They | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
are appealing for anyone with information about the fire to come | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
forward. Police have identified the body | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
found badly burnt in a bin in Southampton. 22-year-old Jamie Dack | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
lived in Millbrook Road West in the town. His family say he was a good | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
natured young man who liked to chat, made friends easily and had a | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
trusting nature. Four people have been arrested on suspicion of | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
murder. Police are investigating the theory his body may have been | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
moved to the Empress Road Industrial Estate in a wheelie bin. | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
Detectives don't think it was a random attack and say they believe | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Jamie knew his attackers. Safety checks have been ordered on | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
a type of helicopter used by air ambulance services in Hampshire, | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
Dorset and the Isle of Wight. A crack which could cause a crash has | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
been found on the main rotor hub of a Eurocopter EC135 helicopter. The | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
European Aviation Safety Agency has ordered pre-flight checks until an | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
investigation into the problem concludes. | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
One of the smallest hospitals in the region has been saved from | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
closure for the second time in 15 years. Odiham Cottage Hospital was | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
threatened with closure last year but has now been taken over by a | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
consortium of GPs. The hospital will not have any patient beds, | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
instead offering daycare and nurse led treatments. Patients say it'll | :08:06. | :08:15. | |
make all the difference. It means that I'd do not have to take up | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
beds in hospital, I would not -- I would have been there for three | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
weeks with what I was undergoing. It means I was able to get home, in | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
my own time, with these young ladies' assistants, and I could not | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
have asked for better treatment at home. And I would not have got | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
better treatment in hospital, to turn you the truth. | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
They've been the scourge of urban waterways for decades, supermarket | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
trolleys dumped in canals and rivers. But now a council in | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Berkshire says it's tackling the problem at the source. Reading | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
Borough Council says it will now fine supermarkets �15 for every | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
dumped shopping trolley it recovers. It'll also charge extra for their | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
disposal. The Newtown area near a Tesco superstore is the first to be | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
targeted. Tesco says it employs someone to collect stray trolleys | :08:58. | :09:07. | |
and that it finds their theft frustrating. It is a big cost for | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
the councils are big running round after Tesco's clearing up the test | :09:10. | :09:16. | |
-- trollies, but if they can charge trolley owners will be a privilege, | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
it becomes economic call for the council to do that and it becomes | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
economic call for Tesco's to think about doing thinks differently so | :09:24. | :09:30. | |
their trolleys stay within their site. | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
Onto sport, both Southampton and Reading remain on course for | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
promotion to the Premier League after the Easter football programme. | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
Tony Husband has the main highlights now and news of a | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
surprise arrival at Crawley Town after Steve Evans decision to | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
resign. Southampton now needs seven more | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
points to guarantee promotion from the championship. Their victory | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
yesterday came courtesy of two goals from Vicky Lambert, taking | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
his season's tally to 30. -- a witty Lambert. 6000 fans roared | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
them on, and they can see the Premier League in their sight. | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Saints are six points clear of West Ham in third. Reading and Britain | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
meet tonight. Albion could go back into the play-offs with a win, | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Reading could draw level again at Southampton. Results elsewhere | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
meant at Portsmouth's dramatic goal at St Mary's to earn a point on | :10:17. | :10:23. | |
Saturday did little to wrecked -- help their relegation fight. Steve | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
Coppell is the new director of football at lead to chronic after a | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
weekend which saw Steve Evans's abrupt decision to quit and join | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
Rotherham. They stayed on course to promote with a winner at Barnet. | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
Bournemouth's caretaker got his first win as the cherries beat | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
Huddersfield 2-0. That is it here from the studio. | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
Let's quiet -- cross live to Sally Taylor. | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
Thank you very much, sorry we had a few technical hiccups so far. | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
Welcome to the Sea City Museum in Southampton which opened today. | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
There is quite a lot of things here this is a simple bookshelf. If you | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
do could be here, as you walk into the museum, you see how the Titanic, | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
the reality of the Titanic became a myth in so many of films, including | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
you can see the posters of James Cameron's Hollywood fiction of the | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
Titanic. The next story is not about fiction, it is that fact. It | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
is about seven young men from the you Forest who went to the new | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
world looking for a new life. They unfortunately took the Titanic and | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
never have arrived. But Tom Hepworth has been to Canada to find | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
out a little bit more about them and what their collections are the | :11:45. | :11:52. | |
to the New World and the New Forest. This is a family about to be torn | :11:52. | :12:00. | |
apart. The Hickman's. Within six lump, three of the people you can | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
see would be dead. This was taken in 1912. Leonard emigrated to Anna | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
-- Canada in 1907. The breadbasket of the Empire needed farmers and he | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
grabbed the opportunity. Leonard was a person to get up and go, and | :12:16. | :12:23. | |
so he went. He was 20 at the time. And I think everybody was looking | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
at these adverts and emigration was a big feature of the times. This | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
was the land of plenty as far as Leonard Hickman was concerned. He | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
came here to Eden in the Canadian prairies, and as you can see, there | :12:38. | :12:47. | |
is plenty of space to farm. Leonard found work on Harold's Farm and | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
settled into his new life. He enjoyed hunting and got engaged to | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
his boss's daughter, Margaret. At Christmas in 1911, Leonard came | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
home so full of enthusiasm, he persuaded two of his brothers, | :13:00. | :13:09. | |
Lewis and Stanley, to join him, along with four friends from school. | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
They were never meant to travel on the Titanic, a miners' strike meant | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
their original sailing was cancelled. But the White Star Line | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
moved them on to the pride of its fleet and a upgraded them to second | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
class. They had smoking Grimm's, they had pretty well -- they did | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
pretty well for themselves. -- smoking rooms. They would have been | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
living the life of Riley. We do not know how those seven young men span | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
the final moments, but Barbara thinks it is likely they were | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
together. There is -- as details of the tragedy filtered through, the | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
Hickman family's loss was front page news. A memorial plaques were | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
put up in Fritham and Bradshaw. What happened next was a mystery | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
and became a taboo subject for more than a generation. It was never | :13:58. | :14:06. | |
spoken about. If we asked questions, you could get an answer, perhaps. | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
And that was about as far as it went. So it has been a mystery to | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
you all these years? Yes, until quite recently. Nearly a fortnight | :14:16. | :14:24. | |
after Titanic's cent, the recovery vessel picked up a body. In the | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
coat pocket, a membership card belonging to Leonard. The body was | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
brought to a town near Eden, and its rent of Leonard's who emigrated | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
travelled to the funeral with Harold. They caught the train but | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
it was late. By that time they arrived, this church was already | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
beginning to fill with mourners. They went into a back room where | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
the coffin was so they could identify Leonard's body. That they | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
open the lid, but it was not Leonard inside. It was Lewis. Under | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
pressure, they decided to press ahead with the funeral service | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
anyway. Writing to the Hickman family back in Fritham, Emily Smith | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
broke the news of the mix up. was not Leonard's body, it was | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
Louis's. By that time, we could not change it. People had come for the | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
service and we were very much worried. The clergyman and Mr | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
Honeyman and Jim have thought it bet for the service to go on as | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
arranged. Lewis was buried as Leonard, the furthest west of | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
anyone who died of the Titanic. The headstone was eventually changed, | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
but there is still a spelling mistake on it. It is a poetic | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
injustice that Lewis never got to enjoy it our country. The other sad | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
part is that Leonard never made it back to a country he loves so much, | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
and he left a broken heart. He would never see her again. Magritte | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
eventually got married and had children, but she secretly kept a | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
picture of leathered in a locket. She also kept his engagement ring, | :15:58. | :16:05. | |
and -- a lasting reminder of a future that never was. | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
An extraordinary tale. There are commemorations and services this | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
weekend at both for from and Bramshaw in the New Forest if you | :16:13. | :16:20. | |
want to follow them. With me now in this new Sea City Museum, we have | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
the creator, Marie, and Councillor John from Santon City Council. Can | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
we talk about this spectacular thing you have in your hand? It is | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
probably the piece of the museum. What is the story behind it? It is | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
a watch, just an ordinary pocket watch from 1912. But it was out of | :16:39. | :16:47. | |
a body of a steward who drowned, after the dark -- the disaster. | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
Some of the bodies were recovered and the discovered -- possessions | :16:50. | :16:57. | |
were taken off. And the clock stopped at what time? It was 1:50am. | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
That is quite McCart, it brings home that whole story. It is an | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
extraordinary museum, we were looking at the maps upstairs, and | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
think you were involved in that. There is an extraordinary map of | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
Southampton Street, red dots all over it, and that is where somebody | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
who has lost to a household, is that right? That's right. That map | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
brings it home, Hull affected the city was. -- howl affected the city | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
was by the disaster. I think that is the last time it is going to | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
come out of his cabinet! John, this is a reality of many years, are you | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
delighted with the outcome today? We are thrilled and the feedback we | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
have had from visitors has been exceptional. It has been a long | :17:42. | :17:49. | |
time waiting but worth it. million to build this museum, but | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
to a �5 million short, how worried I you about that? Where will the | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
money come for from? From the outside, we said there would be �5 | :17:59. | :18:07. | |
million from 5 million -- from the Heritage Lottery Fund, a council | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
would -- the council would provide 5 million, and we wanted to raise | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
another 5 million are. We are confident that we will see the | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
money in the next two years. Do you think this museum will last? | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
Absolutely, I think it is here for a very long time. For the people of | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
this city and then the visitors, it will be here for them to enjoy. | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
Even if you had to dip into a city council coffers to keep it afloat, | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
would you do that? Yes, we are committed to the museum. From our | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
own projections, we are confident we will be able to maintain the | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
museum and see the Revenue that it will insure it has a good future. | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
it is great, it is so interactive. There are magnificent things for | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
families here. It is, there is something for everyone. Families, | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
and we have got already a very heavy booking reschedule for | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
schools. People are coming from all over the country. The interest | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
shown from international media as well, I am sure we will see many | :19:10. | :19:18. | |
more people flock to the city. Thank you very much, Councillor. | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
Thousands of schoolchildren have been involved in special history | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
project at school, including this lot some Wellow primary-school in | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
Romsey. They shed their passion with a school in Halifax in Nova | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
Scotia. It is where many of the line a's bed were buried when they | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
were recovered. Kerry, what was the project? At Wellow School we are | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
looking for new opportunities to bring grow -- learning alive for | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
the children. The Titanic obviously, being such a massive human disaster | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
at having so much history in Southampton where we live, we | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
contacted South and -- the council education team who were fantastic | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
and put us in contact with a school in Halifax who were looking for a | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
school to do a video about the Southampton story. You swapped | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
videos, didn't you? I think we can see the one that Halifax sent to | :20:12. | :20:21. | |
you. Yes, they sent us some. city answered the call. White Star, | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
owners of the Titanic, sent out their agents, A D Jones, to charter | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
there Bennett from its owners. 206 victims were found and pulled from | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
the North Atlantic's icy grip. do you think the children got out | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
of that? Aim really learnt that it was not -- they really meant that | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
other people had stories to tell, not just Southampton. They were | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
already interested to see what the other school offered. One of your | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
pupils have got a story as well. If we can speak to you, Oscar Mills, | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
you're great, great grandfather was on board, what did he do? He was a | :21:03. | :21:10. | |
First Class saloon steward for the Titanic. And, yeah! And he did not | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
survive, did you -- did he? So part of paying tribute, the man who | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
discovered the wreck of the Titanic, Dr Bob -- Bob Ballard, send these | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
guys a message. It is very important you commemorate the | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
sinking of the Titanic, the close ties Southampton had to that ship | :21:28. | :21:35. | |
and its long history and its maritime culture. So, great job. | :21:35. | :21:45. | |
:21:45. | :21:51. | ||
great job indeed. It is I have no idea! Aynho, we have got | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
the weather idea -- we know, we have got the weather for the | :21:55. | :22:03. | |
present day. Tell us what the A lot of things may have changed | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
but the weather seems to be very similar. Let's have a look at the | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
pressures charts in 1912, the loan is in the North Sea, sitting to the | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
east of the country, and we have a northerly wind direction, a typical | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
April day. Similar to today, the area of low pressure is in the | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
North Sea to the east and it will be similar Sharif. Much is very | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
similar. Showers today it will be fading away, leaving a chilly and | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
frosty picture for some of us. One or two places or hang on to the | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
showers, along the south coast and in the far west. Temperatures | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
milder here. Further north and east, Lowes going down to freezing, there | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
could be some grass frost in rural locations. Maybe even some patches | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
of fork. A chilly and sunny start tomorrow, dry for a while before | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
the show was for come in. The focus will be on the east of the region - | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
- the showers come in. If you had sunshine today, perhaps not so | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
lucky tomorrow. You might get a rash of showers and a high of 13 | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
Celsius. The winds are lighter, so the showers are slow-moving. | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
Overnight, the risk of frost, that will be a familiar pattern this | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
week. Temperatures close to freezing. Towards Thursday, the | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
showers were still there, merging into longer spells of rain to the | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
far north. Temperatures descending through the week. A showers on | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
Wednesday, one or two places much. Them all together. Thursday, longer | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
spells of rain emerging with those showers. Temperatures gradually | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
going down. By Friday, 10 or 11 Celsius at best. The unsettled, | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
showery scene continues in into the weekend. Perhaps sunshine between | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
the showers per hut -- throughout the week but there will be quite a | :24:04. | :24:11. | |
few showers. Rain was not very easy to get a hand on in April, but it | :24:11. | :24:20. | |
will be around for some time during We are still here at the Sea City | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
Museum. I have been to have a look round and I think there are so many | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
things, one of the lovely things is the idea of being interactive. Not | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
only understanding the story and learning more about the history, | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
but being interactive. For example, you can practise driving the | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
Titanic out of the Solent. You can stoke the boilers. Then there is | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
that quite extraordinary map on the floor. It is incredible, it gives | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
you an idea how seriously affected Southampton was, what an impact it | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
had. And your story in Canada was extraordinary force. I was not | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
there for very long but it was an experience to speak to people who | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
had a direct connection, and people who would not be here today were it | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
not for the Titanic sinking. And just finding Leonard Hickman's | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
engagement ring for me was a big moment. We have got to say thank | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
keep to everyone who has been in touch, because of your titanic | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
connections. Some of the stories you have told us have enabled us to | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
do the story like the one in Canada. Some of the people that we met, | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
particularly Jean who was in the peace earlier, and her father. We | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
have got more to come, have a look at this man, you will recognise him. | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
Bernard Hill, the actor, was Captain Smith in James Cameron's | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
film Titanic. He has been filming a programme for us about the story of | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
the Titanic, the hundreds of people who lost their lives and the impact | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
that had on the City of Southampton. You can see that half-hour, special | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
half-hour, 4:50pm, this coming Sunday on BBC One. | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
That is it from us, we will leave you with some extraordinary | :26:03. | :26:09. |
