Here is a walk through The Titanic exhibit for this #wednesdaywalk
As you enter they have a large scale model of the ship. Some of my projects at work involve building models like this and I bet this thing was super expensive to build at this scale.
It also looked like most of it was hand made rather than 3d printed. Lots of labor went into this thing. As this is a traveling exhibit I wonder if they even made backup parts as this thing was quite delicate looking.
Some theming made it look like you were boarding the ship near the entry. My designer brain is looking at the chains and hoping they are ADA compliant...
Now we are boarding the ship, what a nice cruise this will be...
Ah the good old days of smoking rooms, gentlemen only. No cancer for you ladies yet...
What a posh looking smoking room they had on the ship. Must have been tough trying to sweep the cigarette ashes out of the carpet.
The exhibit featured quite a few artifacts recovered from the wreck. Here are some tobacco products that made it off the bottom of the ocean.
Here is the grand staircase. I took a closer look at how they built the set and you can see how it all comes apart for travel to the next exhibit location.
I would not like to be traveling 3rd class on this thing. Bunk beds for everyone in very close quarters.
Here is the boiler room. The lighting and theming made you feel kind of sweaty in this area.
Here is a themed deck overlooking the sea at night. What a nice time to go out for a smoke and look across the ocean...
Oh look they were warned about icebergs, but the captain kept going forward instead of waiting until morning to continue on...
Kapow, now the ship has hit the iceberg and you get to sit in a themed lifeboat and watch the wreck go down.
And the band played on. I doubt this was a real artifact as the violin looked too pristine to have survived a wreck.
The rest of the exhibit was about how submarines recovered a number of artifacts from the bottom of the ocean. Fortunately these submarines were not 3d printed by billionaire hobbyists...

That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
