Southampton Marks Titanic Milestone, 100 Years After Setting Sail

It was exactly 100 years ago, on Tuesday April 10, 1912, when the Titanic sailed from the English port city of Southampton. In honor of the ships first and final voyage, descendants of those on board and the public met for a ceremony at the exact same place where the Titanic set sail. Southampton was home to more than a third of the more than 1,500 people who died when the ship hit an iceberg and sank on April 15, 1912, during its voyage to New York. Those who gathered threw flowers and wreaths into the water, before a minute of silence. I would like to have an image that merges the past and present events. Idea 1: have the scenes from titanic in which the ship is going down and the thousands of people are in the water flailing for help and it will be merged with an image of the descendants throwing them flowers.
Idea 2: have the titanic as its leaving port on an image of the present day ceremony in which the ship is kind of ghostly with all the people waving goodbye and then on the dock will be the decedents throwing flowers in their memory.
The images of Titanic I’ll get from the Internet. I could do sketches of flowers that are thrown into the water at the ceremony. My original photo would be of some of the people attending the ceremony or even some of flowers. That’s the plan so farJ
