what dock was titanic supposed to arrive at

Titanic was supposed to arrive at Pier 59 in New York City. That was the White Star Line’s planned docking point after her maiden voyage.

Extra context

• Pier 59 was the intended arrival dock for Titanic’s passengers and ship.

• The survivors were later brought in by Carpathia to Pier 54 , not Titanic’s original destination.

Why people mix it up

Pier 54 is often mentioned because it’s where the rescue ship Carpathia landed with survivors. Titanic herself, though, was expected at Pier 59.
