The Titanic Trail in Manhattan-- Part 1

From the May 11, 2012, Miami Herald "Titanic trail leads though Manhattan." //// Vestiges of the majestic ship remain in New York City, especially in Manhattan. //// The big ship was headed for New York City, after all. You can find remnants at the shrine to America's first native-born saint, South Street Seaport, an old hotel, lower Broadway and Hudson River Park. //// *** ENTRANCE TO PIER 54: On Hudson River near West 13th Street. A rusted ironwork still has the words "Cunard White Srtar Line" in faded paint. The Cunard Line ship Carpathia brought the survivors here on April 18, 1912. //// **** PIER 59: (Chelsea Piers Sports Complex) was the White Star moorings where the Carpathia dropped off the lifeboats that saved 705 of the Titanic's survivors. This is where the Titanic would have docked. //// --Cooter
