White Star Line
The title “White Star Line” refers to the ship Titanic and the company that ran the line. The Titanic’s last port of call was Cobh, Co Cork Ireland and this recording was created using field recordings made at, on and under (hydrophone) the actual pier that the last boarding passengers crossed to board the boats that brought them out to the Titanic. This year 2012 is the centenary of the sinking of the ship.
