The exhibit of the Titanic artifacts at Nauticus is beautifully done. There was a reverent feeling as we entered the exhibit.
These artifacts were found in the debris field, the area between the two parts of the ship. These objects spilled forth and have rested in the deep, dark ocean for 84 years! To view them, born of tragedy, removed by technology, is an awe-inspiring experience.
The guides were experts yet gave us time to quietly examine our thoughts.
We, a family of 10, including grandsons, felt privileged to see these treasures in our city.
Our family enjoys Nauticus and visits the facility often. The Titanic artifacts leave in March, but thank you for this unique experience our family will always remember!
