The Titanic-the exhibit, 2012-May 6

Today went to museum that was having the viewing of the Titanic. It will be in San Diego until  the end September, and I highly recommend it. I was not expecting to be as emotional as I was today just viewing what was on display at a "museum". But what was there was so much more than a few plates. What was there represented "lives". You could feel these people's souls seep through the walls of the images etched onto the walls. People marched through there basically as silent observers, only to stop and read the walls. If you paid a few extra dollars, you received the audio version of the tour, I liked that. It gave you a different sort of perspective. Possibly what the different classes may have been thinking. At one point of the tour there was a giant wall of ice and you got to feel it, just to see what they may have been going through. Just a little taste of a night of terror. You were given a name on your "boarding pass" and at the end of the tour you checked the wall of list of "Survivors" or the other list, the larger list of the deceased. My sister and I both were on the latter. It was an experience I will never forget. I urge everyone to go.
