The aim of the YouTUBE Channel 'Southampton on Video' is to give members of the public, including children, easy access to film about the city. King Henry V's fleet left for the battle of Agincourt in 1415 and the Pilgrim Fathers set sail for the New World in 1620, from the West Gate, which is still in general use today. Jane Austen, one of the greatest authors, was born and raised in Hampshire and lived from 1807-9 just a stone's throw away from the Bargate, another gateway which can still be seen today. RMS Titanic left from Southampton in 1912 and during World War One the town was designated, the Number One embarkation port. In the Second World War the Supermarine Spitfire was designed and produced at Woolston, on the banks of the R Itchen, and Southampton was the main port used by United States GIs on D-Day in 1944. Today, as well as the home for many cruise ships, the city of Southampton is a thriving container port and remains the UK 'Gateway to the Oceans'. (Not for profit).
