Titanic Exhibit @ Maritime Museum

I think eveeyone knows the story of the Titanic... I dont think I need to go into much detail here... but i do find it surprising that a lot of Western Canadians either forget or don't remember that the Titanic actually sank near Canada and Halifax played a huge role in the rescue operations and the retrieval of the floating bodies afterward.

First photo is a model of the Titanic.
2nd is a recovered chunk of an archway from the ship. If you zoom in on the image on the purple card in the photo, it shows you where the arch was on the ship.
3rd is a recovered deck chair from the ship
4th is a model of the life boats that would have been on the ship.
5th is a chunk of a pillar at the bottom of the grand staircase. There are 2 chunks there but one is the real one behind glass and the other is a fibreglass replica that people can touch. If you look on the left of the large image of the staircase you will see where the chunk originated.
6th is some interesting statistics about the passengers based on class, gender and age.Read more
