BOSTON – History fans are in luck, a new exhibit about the Titanic has docked in Boston.
“Touch the Titanic”
Titanic, The Artifact Exhibition has more than 200 authentic pieces from the ship on display at the Castle at Park Plaza.
“This is a great opportunity for people to touch the Titanic. This is a plate from the hull,” President of RMS Titanic Inc. Tomasina Ray said. “It’s amazing to be able to bring these artifacts to the public. We are so honored and privileged to be in sole possession of the wreck site and so everything you see in this exhibit is directly from Titanic.”
The pieces and pictures tell the story of how the ship sunk on April 15, 1912. There are plenty of artifacts and things to do for budding and seasoned history fans.
People are able to walk through a replica of the first-class hallway and one of the grand staircases. Then there’s the iceberg room that shows the many warnings that the ship ignored.
