I'm glad you enjoyed it. I really started reading and watching things on Titanic about a year ago when I watched a special on what really made it sink. One thing led to another and I just got really involved so it was fun to walk through with the added knowledge I'd picked up. Close to the end, they had a lamp that shined down on the floor giving an outline on the floor of one of the lifeboats called a cutter. It was 27 feet long and a little over 7 feet wide and standing in that outline was very claustrophobic. And they should have carried 40 people (which they didn't, they were terribly under loaded) but people would have been on top of each other with 40 in it. Just...if you ever have the chance, go.

It must have been amazing for you...thank you for sharing; I felt like I was walking through the exhibit right along with you! (and btw - I'm glad to know you survived!) Love this post! :)

You left me wishing I'd been there with you to view all of these extraordinary things and I want to hear more! It's a shame that it was so crowded, but I don't imagine it could have been avoided, other than (as you mentioned) trying to go on a weekday. Your site looks great, by the way! I love the soft template and design. :) Sorry for all of the issues that have kept you away. You've been missed and I, for one, will be expecting many more posts to come from you soon!
