They Had Already Sold Tickets for the Return Voyage
Before Titanic’s journey across the Atlantic began, she docked in two different boarding spots: Cherbourg, France and Queenstown, Ireland. She was supposed to make a stop in Manhattan to allow first- and second-class passengers to disembark, and then continue to Ellis Island so third-class passengers could go through immigration. Titanic had a return trip scheduled to leave New York on April 20th, and several more scheduled through the year, up to December 28.
