Maryport is the home town of Thomas Henry Ismay founder of the White Star Line, the shipping company which owned RMS Titanic. For this reason Maryport is at the root of the Titanic story. This beautiful historic town plays an important role in the global centenary of the fatal maiden voyage of the Titanic.
Through March, April and May 2012 a large exhibition and series of events is being planned in Maryport to commemorate the centenary of what was once the world's largest and most luxurious ship.
