Photo of Cunard Pier - in 1915, prior to the sinking of the RMS Lusitania by the German U-20 submarine, the vessel departed from Pier 54. The RMS Titanic was headed for White Star Pier 59 when it went down. Demolition of Pier 54's superstructure occurred in 1991 but the archway entrance was left along with the Cunard and White Star signage.
