Does anyone know what port Titanic was set to dock at once it got into New York City? I was just in Manhattan and saw all the docks, took a ride out to the Statue of Liberty. I reminded me of the movie so much, I wish I knew what port number it was going to.

I can't seem to find in my books whihc dock it was suppose to dock at..

But Pier 54 is where the Carpathia docked and the passengers disembarked.

I've got a photo from a friends trip to NY that she's got a pic of Titanic's pier if you'd wanna see it, there's no number but perhaps you might remember seeing it.

That would be great! Send it to Thanks!

Wasn't she supposed to dock at the WSL pier that the [i:4d70f5dfe4]Olympic[/i:4d70f5dfe4] used?

i thought it was to dock at the same port as olympic?

I believe it was pier 59 it was supposed to dock at, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.

the Carpathia dropped the lifeboats off that she had taken on board at the Titanic's dock - correct?[/i:30d2dba7d8]

Joe, On Jan 22, 2003 Mr. Titanic replied with this info to the same question and I copied it for you.

Hello Jonas,
When the 13,603 gross-ton Carpathia arrived in New York, she docked at Cunard Line?s Pier 54, located at the West side of Manhattan.

Up until the 1930?s, Cunard?s main passenger terminal was at the Chelsea Docks at pier?s 53, 54 and 56, located at West 12 and West 15 Streets. In 1936, larger 1000 foot plus liners like the Queen Mary needed longer piers and ?Luxury Liner Row,? as it soon became known as, was reassigned further uptown to piers 88 and 90, at West 50th Street. By the 1950?s the Chelsea pier?s where no longer used by Cunard Line. Today, piers 88 and 90 have been completely overhauled and all but a few cruise liners like the QE2 occasionally visit there.

I?m afraid nothing remains of the old piers, they have been either knocked down or replaced with some other structure, serving another purpose. When I lived in NYC till 1997, there was still a few dilapidated piers somewhere uptown near 90th St. (At this time I think they have been torn down.)

Perhaps the west side memorial, the Intrepid Air and Space Museum(@ Pier 86) has some reminiscing photos to help remember those times when the RMS Olympic, and other famous liners of the 20?s and 30?s once berthed.

Hope this helps. Betty
