North America’s largest and most immersive touring Titanic experience sails into Charlotte for the first time this spring and summer. “Titanic: The Exhibition” takes guests on an interactive experience of the design, construction, maiden voyage and tragic ending in 1912 of the world’s largest ship at that time. This includes genuine artifacts, detailed re-creations of the ship’s interior and a gallery showcasing the discovery of the Titanic wreckage site 2.5 miles down on the ocean floor. Every visitor receives a boarding card of an actual passenger on the ship — allowing them to trace that individual passenger’s story. A new gallery, “Titanic’s Connections to the Carolinas,” debuts specifically for the Charlotte exhibition. It includes proof that the ship’s original distress signal was received at NC’s Cape Hatteras Weather Station a full 15 minutes earlier than historians previously documented.
