OMG! Today I decided to take a break from Otakon for an bit, so I went to the Science Center down in Baltimore and saw the Titanic Exhibt. ^_^ It was soooooo cool!
Ever since I can remember, I've always had a thing about leanring more and more about the Titanic Disater. I just love the story, I could hardly imangine the horror those people faced April 15th 1912. I would have been the first one in the water but then I would also be the first to die from Hypothermia.
The Exhibit contain several artifacts like the dishes and a similar angel like the one on the Grand Staircase but it said it was like a palce where passengers would meet up with one another. It was so pretty.
I also got to see some recreations of some of the state rooms like 1st class and 3rd class. Back then the 3rd class cabins only cost about 35 dollars now they would be about 600 dollars. >.> I know shocking right?
I also got to see some of the belongings of some people that perished on the ship and varioes dollar bills they brought up. It felt kind of wrong to have those things out of the Titanic. Maybe it was just me but some of the stuff gave me a eerie feeling. Like they were robbing the grave.
Also when you go into it they give you a card with a person name on it age and what class your in. At the end you could look at a big wall with lists and lists of name of passangers that survived and persihed in the icy Atlantic. I was a Miss Helen Otsby.
Another thing I found interesting was the room near the final room. It had a mini iceburg in it and you could feel the ice and that was how cold the water was the night the Titanic sank. It was FREEZING! O_O
At the end they had a little gift shop where you could buy necklaces that had peices of coal form the ship in them and books etc. I bought a book called SOS Titanic and read it in 2 days. It was a very good book, I highly recommend it. ^_^
Well that was my day at the Titanic Exhibt. See'ya when I see'ya! ^.^
