Ever since I was about 9 or 10, I have been really interested in the Titanic. My parents even took a family vacation to Boston when I was in the 5th grade to check out a traveling museum of Titanic artifacts (along with seeing the East Coast as well). Something about the tragic nature coupled with the air of elegance that makes up the legacy of the Titanic fascinates me.
Today when I was shopping at Barnes and Noble for a gift, I came across this book and knew I HAD to purchase it. Titanic Love Stories by Gill Paul recounts 13 different true stories of honeymooning couples from all three classes on the ship. I've only made it through three of the stories so far, but boy are they good!! For the $10 price tag, it is totally worth the purchase! The stories are so interesting and provides another layer of depth into the passengers of the famous ship.
It's also a fitting read, since the 100th anniversary is quickly approaching. My local historical museum, The Henry Ford, is hosting a traveling Titanic exhibit, complete with recreations of the deck and state rooms. I am beyond excited -- March 31st cannot come quick enough. If anyone is going to be in the Detroit area from March 31st to September 30th should definitely check out the exhibit. I have seen parts of it before and it was really amazing, so I can only imagine how stellar it is going to be this time around!

P.S. Thanks to those of you who commented on my last post. I still haven't been able to track down the article yet, but I am in the process of working with the Motion Picture Academy's archives to try and locate where it came from. If anyone does come across any leads, they are still appreciated!!

I looked into the one at the Henry Ford museum. We might try to make it out to Ohio to visit family and do a little side trip. We have seen the traveling exhibit twice and were beyond impressed. This summer we travelled to Branson, MO. to a privately held Titanic museum. Our family is a bit obsessed. I will look forward to you posting about the exhibit!
Hey
Titanic Love Stories
Your website is incredible, thank you in your effort!
Do you have more great articles like this one
Thank you!
You should try a trip to Halifax, NS! We have a permenant Titanic Exhibit at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and I live across the street from a cemetary where some of the passengers were buried. Halifax was the closest port to the sinking, so we have a connection with the Titanic that's part of our history.
I really love the Titanic story, every time I watch it I cried and cried. How incredible the story is.
