Sailors' Home, Oxford Street, Southampton Sailors' Home, Oxford Street, Southampton

Sailors' Home is now a hostel run by the Salvation Army, however in 1912 it was home to many seafarers, some of whom had been raised from childhood with the intention of going to sea.

Seventeen crew members of Titanic listed Sailors' Home as their address.

Remarkably, only two of these men lost their lives in the tragedy.

The building has undergone massive renovations since 1912.

In 2007 the interior was completely redesigned, leaving nothing much more than the front façade from the original building.
