TITANIC, THE EXHIBITION
May 7, 2023 @ 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm
During the fall of 2022, “Titanic, The Exhibition” arrived in NYC after a run in London. On May 7, 2023, members and guests attending our May membership meeting were invited to view this new exhibit created by the Spanish Company Musealia with contributions by TITANIC historian Claes-Göran Wetterholm. The exhibition, a short 15-minute walk from the meeting location, was a natural segue from the evening’s program on maritime collections with specific emphasis on TITANIC and White Star related items. The exhibition featured over 200 original objects from TITANIC and her sisters, in addition to life-size recreations of the ship’s interiors, and photographs, handwritten letters, wayward keepsakes, and other personal belongings telling countless stories about the fates and heroic deeds on board. A narrated audio guide included sound effects, music and testimonies from TITANIC passengers and crew.
