The Henderson family arrived at the southampton dock, when they saw it, the biggest ship in the world! Titanic! "Hurry up!" Ben shouted, "We still have an hour left. Calm yourself, Ben." Ivy replied. "She is big.." Arthur muttered. John ran to Henry. "So this it, the Titanic." "Mhm" Henry looked like he had see a ghost. "Are you sure she is safe?" He asked John in a rushed voice. "Well of course she is!" "Holdy my bags." Lisa ordered, "Yes, mother." William sighed. Arthur walked over to Ben. "When we get on board, do you want to explore with the rest?" "Sure." Ben replied. John looked at Lisa. "Mother, what time is it?" He asked "11:50." "Oh we have to board!" They arrived on deck when they saw the ship being pulled from the pier. "Alright should we go exp-" They heard something that sounded like gunshots. "What the hell!?" Lisa mumbled. The next thing the passengers saw horrified them.. The SS New York was heading towards the ship. "ALL STOP!" The captain ordered. Luckly the ship missed the SS New York by an inch. The ship would stop for expections. "I want Boxhall and Lowe down at the boilers to see if we have any damage." The captain ordered. "So did we hit it?" Arthur asked in a panic. "I don't think so.." Ben replied. At about 12:30 the ship resumed her maiden voyage. "So, where is our suite?" Asked Arthur. "B. deck." Ivy replied. "Slow ahead!" Ordered chief officer Henry Wilde. "Aye aye sir." A steward walked up to Henry. "Would you like anything sir?" The steward asked. "A life jacket." "Sir-" "JUST GET ME ONE!" Henry was oddly suscpicous of the ship. A couple hours later the ship arrived at Cherbourg France to pick up more passengers. One of Lisa's friends Margaret Brown joined the ship from Cherbourg. The Nomadic arrived at the gangway door since the Titanic was to big to fit in the port. John Jacob Astor, the richest man on board arrived on the ship and greeted some members of the Henderson family. The next stop is Queenstown (Cobh) Ireland.
