Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge
Do you like a good mystery at sea? Would you like more answers to the sinking of the Titanic? The owner of the new and exciting Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge was one of those people who couldn't get enough of the mystery behind the Titanic, so he started to gather information, artifacts, letters and ... the rest is history!
I guess one needs to recall that this was the maiden voyage of the Titanic, an event of historical proportions during that time period. It was the largest ship in the history of the world and the stories that lead up to and during the voyage make up what is the “rest of the story.”
Once we entered, the "boarding process" began in the interior ticketing area. This is where the captain spoke welcoming us to our voyage on the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge. We then entered through the ships ticketing area and started our journey. During your self-guided tour, costumed crew members are scattered throughout the ship, ready to introduce you to stories of some of the original passengers and crew that were on board, as well as answer your questions.
Steve's boarding pass was Father Browne, a Jesuit priest who ended up surviving because he got off at the third port of call. He was a photographer and snapped some of the most real and impressive photos in the exhibit. In fact, it seemed that a good majority of the photos in the museum were taken by Father Browne.
My boarding pass was a woman, who, had her two grown children aboard the ship with her. They were first class and stayed in one of two of the largest suites aboard the ship. I had to wait until the end of the exhibit to find out that she and her daughter survived, but her son, gave up his seat on the life boat to another person. Just one of hundreds of stories of true heroism.
My favorite part about the museum was the area where you, the passenger is standing outside on the bow of the ship. They have a replica here of an iceberg to touch, feel how cold the air temperature is and then actually touch the 30 degree ocean water. I put my hand in for less than a minute and it was already starting to feel numb. One can only imagine being partial submerged in this water. At the end of the tour, you'll see a memorial room with a list of survivors and those who perished at sea. Most of whom perished of the conditions in the water.
I would suggest calling ahead for reservations because they board the ship (museum) at specific times in order to stagger the amount of people inside. Allow a few hours, but it goes very fast because it's all so fascinating. Bon Voyage' and enjoy the trip!
