But the most amazing item was a piece of the ship they actually managed to bring up from the depths.

On the tickets, they posted which passenger you were to represent while viewing the artifacts. At the end of the tour, you were able to look up your passenger name to see if you survived or not....I do not. :( It was a fun and neat experience to learn about, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12732180.post-24692805857233487182011-04-15T12:41:38.832-04:002011-04-15T12:41:38.832-04:00Wow, Dani, great photos!

Thanks so much for sharing and putting us in the museum right there with you. <br /><br />Your reasons why the Titianic hit the iceberg resonate with all of us.

Supposedly, one of the managers came to my great-uncle and asked if it were possible, did he think that a huge modern ship like that could just sink. My gg-uncle played it very cagily, he just said "Well, could have."Celia Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16261103494038415027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12732180.post-672333796086144312011-04-15T12:22:49.347-04:002011-04-15T12:22:49.347-04:00Wonderful post, Dani- great photos.
