1900: Queen Victoria starts a three day visit to Ireland, landing in Kingstown (now Dun Laoire, just south of Dublin,) thirty-nine years after her previous visit. Despite the contentious relationship between Ireland and England, she received a “royal” welcome with huge crowds turning out to see the aging matriarch who had at this stage been on the throne for sixty-three years.

1912: Following successful trials (which lasted all of one day) Titanic sails from Belfast for Southampton where it will embark passengers for its maiden voyage.
