Compared to vinyl or hardboard siding, installation of Hardie plank siding is very easy. You can easily use self-tapping screws to fix the siding to any flat surface of your home. Always start with the trim pieces, followed by larger sheets. To finish, just seal any gaps with a water resistant sealant and itâs all over.
After leaving Southampton on 10 April 1912, Titanic called at Cherbourg in France and Queenstown (now Cobh) in Ireland before heading west to New York. On 14 April, four days into the crossing and about 375 miles (600 km) south of Newfoundland, she hit an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. ship's time.
Leaving Southampton 1. Titanic leaving Southampton, April 1912. Just before noon on 10 April 1912, Titanic began her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. She was under the command of Captain Edward John Smith. Her first port of call was Cherbourg, about 70 miles (112 km) away in France, and then Queenstown (Cobh) in Ireland. In this photograph, amid clouds of smoke and steam, mooring lines are being cast off and five tiny tugs are manoeuvring Titanic away from her berth and out of the dock.
