    Hi Sam. On behalf of "Officer Lightoller" and the entire team thank you for showcasing us! It is so rewarding when we hear that those who are as fascinated with Titanic as we are appreciate what we do! I agree with you that the best artifact is the telegraph. Not sure if you noticed but it is still in the position for the last order Murdoch gave stopping the engines. Gives me chills every day. Next time I hope you'll take our guided tour! Thanks again for visiting! Jim Q (aka Officer Charles Lightoller)

    I visited this museum with my mom in 2011. One of the most emotional moment for me is the lifeboat scene. The tour guide made the female and male “passengers” separate and for a moment I was so deeply into the scenario that I was afraid of not seeing my mom forever and the male “passengers” were about to be left alone in the sinking ship. With the tour guides narratives and the chilling A/C running to simulate that horrific night. This experience is once a lifetime that one must try!

    There's a Titanic museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. When you enter you're given a ticket for a passenger (the employees are in WSL uniform) and after you complete the tour you find out whether the person whose ticket you hold died or survived. Among the things they have are a recreation of the ship's bridge in a darkened room with the temperature set to what it allegedly was on the night of the sinking (they also had water around the model that you could reach into and find out how cold it was), three slanted models of part of the stern you could climb up to find out what it was like to try and hold onto the ship before it split and, when I visited in 2016, they had recovered the violin used by the band, but told us it was bought by someone else and that they'd no longer have it. Haven't been there since, so can't confirm or deny that. But yeah, definitely worth checking that museum out if you get the opportunity.

    I highly recommend you visit the Las Vegas exhibit as well. They not only have one of the smaller cherubs from the Grand Staircase landings but they have an actual piece of the floor, not just the tiles, on display. They also have the stand that used to hold the ship’s steering wheel on the bridge and windows from the first class lounge, along with the Big Piece of the hull, among other artifacts. It was absolutely humbling to see these artifacts in person and I’m sure someone with as much passion for this ship as you would appreciate it.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who was stunned by some of the artifacts. What really affected me was where they had that recreation of the iceburg. You could touch it and feel just how cold it actually was. They also had that deck area that was the same freezing temperature as the night of the sinking. That made it real for me. Thinking about all those people going into that freezing water made me very emotional. I hope to return someday. I went shortly after the museum opened, and I recommend it to everyone!

    My grandfather was a chief propulsion engineer for Harland and Wolff and helped design the triple expansion steam engines for Titanic.

I still get chills thinking about that.

    I’m a local but I went a few years ago with a friend from out of town. It’s so surreal seeing some of these pieces in person. I really loved walking out onto the boat deck and touching the iceberg. That moment gave me so many chills aside from it being extremely cold. Of course getting to go onto the grand staircase for a photograph with the captain was even more impressive. One of my favorite little museums in our tourist area. Definitely plan to go back next year and see it again when I have company in town.

    I once visited a temporal Titanic museum in my home country in Puerto Rico at a mall in 2009. It was a must (obligatory) in my bucket list and my parents knew it that I wanted to go there lol. I didn't know how long it would stay before moving in someplace else or something, but in the end I eventually visited it that December 2009. It was an awesome experience seeing actual artifacts and that simulated iceberg thing that you could touch it and feel it. And everything at the gift shop was kind of too pricey, so the only thing I could buy is a pen with a little Titanic handcrafted model on the top end, pretty cute thing to own.

    For me, the Grand Staircase and the cold boat deck were the most impressive scenes of the visit. Also memorable was that the ticket you bought was essentially a ticket for Titanic's transatlantic crossing and had the name of an actual passenger and his travel class on it. At the end of the visit, were huge posters with the name of every crew member and passenger and you could check out if "you" were a survivor or one of the majority who drowned.

    I visited a travelling Titanic museum as a school bus driver on a field trip in Phoenix. The kids were amazed at all the artifacts that had been down on the ocean floor for so long, and recovered. There was an example of how cold the water was that night which we all put our hands in----almost immediately went numb. The kids were rather somber by the time the tour was over. They realized the immensity of the tragedy, and some were even crying. These were 4th to 6th grade kids. (Jan Griffiths).

That box was 2 and a half feet. I will never forget getting that. My Dad and i did the model together. Took 2 months.And my Nanny gave us one of the first fibre optic lights that had just come out. My Dad took it all apart. We used the long strings throughout the ship. First model that had lights. Best gift ever.

    when I went when I was younger and at the beginning they gave us all tickets with real passenger's names, and the 'loading' deck was much bigger and I remember it playing the captain's voice or someone yelling "All aboard!" and you could hear the seagulls and the horn blowing. We had our own tour guide, acting like a stewardess on board. We got to feel how cold the water was and felt of the 'ice burg'. One of the most amazing illusions they did was bring us all the way to the deck and you were surrounded by all these stars in the night sky and you could hear the waves crashing and feel how cold it was 'outside'. The tour guide told us to take a moment of silence for all the lost souls who didn't make it. And right near the end, they had a wall full of everyone's names on board, so you had to find your name from the ticket to see who you were and if you survived or not. I miss that one

    I'm wondering if they still had the "iceberg". Hubby and I went in 2000 during our honeymoon and several of the things you showed weren't there but several were. I think my fave piece was one of the life vest they had. It had blood on it. Don't think I'll ever forget that as long as I live. Anyway, the iceberg was basically a slab of ice affixed to the wall and the guide explained how cold the water was that night and how close this piece of "ice " was. They told us how long it took for people to freeze to death and said go and to keep our hands, palm facing, on the ice as long as possible. Nobody could come close to that number. It was so eye opening bc until you're that cold you can't understand cold.

    I had the pleasure of visiting that museum back in 2017 with my sisters. The docent we had at the time was a lovely young lady dressed as one of Titanic's first class passengers. Seeing all the artifacts and recreations was amazing. I especially loved the Grand Staircase. But the most impactful room for me was one of the last rooms of the tour, with all the names of the passengers sorted by class. At first, it was fun as we tried to find "our" names on the lists to see if we survived or not (everyone is given a card at the beginning with the name and short bio of a real passenger). But after, it was sobering to realize that each of those names was an actual person on board the Titanic that night, and that less than a third of them lived to see the next day.

    I do love it when staff who play people of the past are that in character. I have done work like that in my local museum playing Jane Austen's best friend. It does take skill to know whether or not visitors like you being in character, but the people that do like you being in character are my favourite visitors who make the shifts all the more enjoyable. It shows enthusiasm for their work. I hope I can come across the pond to Florida to see this museum. It looks great! After some research on my family tree I discovered I have cousin who was on board and worked as kitchen staff. I have always been interested in the titanic from a very young age, probably about 5, I had loads of books on it, and did get teased about it at school, but I never let that impact my interests!

The actors playing the Straus’s were very fun but also so good and when I started crying actually comforted me telling me that everyone there had had that moment when the wreck became tangible to them.

      @j.vonhogen9650 Před 3 lety

      @@JohnLee-pt5jz - I will never doubt your noble intentions, but I have plenty of reasons to doubt the effectiveness of lockdowns and face masks, simply because we never got reliable numbers on Covid 19 cases. In august 2020, the CDC dramatically corrected its mortality numbers by reducing the official death count by about 90%. Earlier this month, the CDC reduced these numbers again by a staggering 95%! And guess what? Both official corrections were completely ignored by mainstream newsmedia around the world.
      These corrections of course apply to the USA, but the same massive corrections were made in Europe, so this is definitely not something you can simply ignore, even when you trust the numbers in your own country, since any comparison with other countries would be structurally flawed.
      Apart from that, the testing procedures for Covid19 have been seriously flawed for more than a year, leading to a huge number of false positives. The inventor of the most commonly used Covid test (who happens to be a Nobel prize winner) has warned the world for this mistake ever since testing started back in 2020. Even the WHO acknowledged this incredible mistake publicly, and changed the testing procedure just a few months ago, which interestingly coincided with a dramatic reduction in the number of positive test results.
      In other words, based on the numbers that have been reported over the past 1.5 year, there is no way to draw any definite conclusions about the effectiveness of lockdowns anywhere on this planet, which means you can still be right, but we just don't know at this point.
      As for the masks, they are proven to be ineffective, since the risk of serious adverse health effects of wearing them is much higher than the risk of damage to one's health due to a Covid 19 infection.
      Fauci (of all people!) supervised an ambitious scientific study about the effectiveness of the use of masks during the Spanish Flu pandemic, which led to the official conclusion by the research team that much more people had died from respiratory infections and illnesses caused by the wearing of masks, than as a result of the Spanish Flu itself!
      I didn't even mention the devastating secundary effects of lockdowns and masks on the mental health of people, social interaction and social cohesion, the economy, schools, universities, and education in general, law enforcement, freedom of speech, universal freedoms and other human rights, etcetera.
      In addition to all of that, there are countless other factors to consider when comparing countries. Australia has a young population, Italy has a (very) old population. This appears to be reflected by the difference in (corrected) Covid numbers in both countries. Attributing any positive effects to lockdowns or face masks is extremely problematic and makes much less sense than taking into account the characteristics of different populations, like demographic factors, Gross Domestic Product, political stability, quality of healthcare, climate, population density, etcetera.
      Anyway, I don't think it is ever "good to see people taking precautions" out of fear or obedience. Remember that wearing a life jacket on the Titanic would probably have broken your neck if you would have had to jump into the water. The life jackets made out of cork and canvas were meant to keep you afloat, not to protect you when jumping off a ship in the middle of the night.
      Long story short, I think it is time to stop wearing masks and return to the old normal, but that's just my opinion, for which I have been banned on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter since the spring of 2020. I'm not supposed to have a dissenting opinion, apparently.
