Exhibition finishes on saturday. Well worth a visit.
Some facts:-
Total passengers 2,207. Survivors 712.
Ship's length 882ft. width 92ft. Weight 46,ooo tons.
Cost of First Class Ticket in 1912 £525 (£34,000 at todays prices)
Cost of 3rd class ticket in 1912 £8 (£500 at todays prices)
As you enter the exhibition you receive a boarding pass in the name of an actual passenger on the Titanic. My boarding pass was in the name of Mr. Engelhart Ostby from Providence, Rhode Island, a 1st class passenger who was travelling with his daughter Helene- he died but she was one of the survivors.
