Boarding at Queenstown, Ireland

This photograph was taken by Father Frank Browne who boarded the Titanic at Southampton, England to his destination in Queenstown, Ireland. 


An American offered to pay his fare to New York, but when Father Browne asked his superiors for permission to extend his trip, his request was denied - which saved his life.  He took several pictures of Titanic and some of the passengers, pictures which have survived over 100 years.
