Titanic exposition

[NorthernRedneck]

We were in Toronto for 4 days this past weekend and went to see a display of approximately 200 artifacts that have been brought up from the Titanic over the years since they first discovered it. I took lots of pictures and thought you'd enjoy them.

This was a tie down removed from the deck.

When you enter, you get a boarding pass. During the tour at one point you scan it and it tells you if you survived or not. They really touched on all the human stories.

The dishes on the left were for 3rd class. The middle for second class and the right ones for first class.

I'd like to point out the bell. It was the one on the crow's nest that was rung when they spotted the iceberg. Also. A few posts earlier there's a photo of some bank notes and a wallet. The wallet was found on the ocean floor in the debris field with money inside.

Awesome pics. Thanks for the tour. Did you survive?

 

[NorthernRedneck]

I didn't survive. My wife did though. We didn't do the hands on vr part of the tour though.

What's strange though is that near the end of the tour, they have a list of survivors and victims of each class. I didn't see a Jack Dawson listed anywhere.

Also of note...the last picture of the bull horn...that was one of two on the deck used to shout directions at everyone as the ship sank.

A few more pictures I forgot last night. First, one of the deck riggings that lowered the lifeboats.


Next, some items placed as they were located on the ocean floor. The dishes were cool.

At the end, they have a piece of plate from the hull that you can touch through a hole in the plexiglass.
