Titanic Museum

The Titanic Museum was so informative and easy to follow. There's a lot of interactive exhibits as well! Definitely touch the iceberg wall and the water temperature bucket. When you arrive they assign you a passenger to follow along with!

We really enjoyed this attraction. I guess it is a little morbid, but at least they are not forgotten. It took us two hours to go through the museum. We just heard that Dolly Parton has just purchased the museum. So it looks like it’s going to stay around a while. There are many fascinating displays to look at.

Really neat experience. Tons of information on the titanic and it's passengers and crew. It was neat following your passenger through to discover if they survived and other details. I did not like the self guided device. In theory it's a great idea but when you aren't listening to yours- your hearing others.

This was our first visit and we loved all the attention to details and the respect and honor of all those that were impacted by this tragedy. The staff were very friendly and provided us with additional details that made the experience that much more better. Earlier today we went back in time as we entered into the Titanic Museum and saw and felt a small part of what all the many souls experienced before and after the catastrophic night at sea on April 14-15, 1912. What was supposed to be a joyful and prestigious voyage for all the passengers and crew ended up a great tragedy as the massive vessel headed towards what was described as “unknown darkness” which ended up being an iceberg . We learned the ship did not break when it made contact with the iceberg, but the six inch rivets (over 3 million in total) expanded /shifted and allowed water to come into the hull. In addition, to cut cost and meet deadlines wrought iron was substituted for steel which might not have failed when it was put under stress. The sinking of the ship that was called “practically unsinkable “ submerged into the icy cold waters taking over 1517 lives. As I was reading, listening and seeing all the photos and information all I could think of is how it possibly could have been prevented and the countless heroic decisions that were made by people of all ages . I also think of how the ship went straight despite the extreme darkness and how the smallest, but the most critically important parts (rivets) weren’t made out of steel as the ships design called for. This makes me think of how we sometimes go forward into darkness thinking we know what’s ahead only to hit rock bottom because we didn’t make sure the smallest of things in our daily lives are in order as God planned.

Very detailed, thorough and thoughtful. I loved the variety of objects, memorabilia and photos. It walked you through many fascinating facets of the ship, crew, and passengers. I want to go again!!
