<div>'''Southampton''' is a port city, in [[Hampshire]] on the south coast of Eng[[land]].<br />
<br />
It is situated at the confluence of two estuaries, the [[River Test]] and the [[River Itchen]]. There has been an important settlement in the area since [[Roman]] times, when it was known as ''Clausentum''. The modern city is situated on the site of the [[Saxon]] walled city. Although the city was bombed very heavily during [[World War I]]I, many of the city's walls and fortifications survive today, most notably the 'Bargate' in the city centre.<br />
<br />
It is known as the city from which the [[Mayflower]] embarked (although [[Plymouth]] was its last port of call before leaving for America.<br />
<br />
In the early decades of the twentieth century , it was a hub of transatlantic traffic, serving as an endpoint for the many cruise ships. The fated cruise ship [[RMS Titanic]] left from Southampton on her maiden voyage. With the advent of mass aviation, its importance has declined somewhat, but it still plays host to luxury cruise liners, in particular the [[RMS Queen Elizabeth 2|QE2]].<br />
