Discover the Stories of the 133 Titanic Children
The First and Only World Tribute to Titanic’s Littlest Heroes
Opening January 18, 2013
The RMS Titanic sailed with 2,208 people on board – 133 of them were children. These were Titanic’s littlest heroes. What they saw, heard and felt from the moment they boarded the ship has been documented and visualized for the first time anywhere by the Titanic Museum Attractions in Branson, Missouri and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. This year-long, exclusive exhibit is a celebration of The Children of Titanic whose bravery, innocence and faith can be an inspiration to us all.
My daughter and I visited the Titanic exhibit in the Spring of 2007. The Titanic wreckage was discovered when I was in junior high school and I’ve been fascinated by it ever since. Although I own several books and a replica of the necklace from the infamous Titanic movie, absolutely NOTHING compares to visiting the exhibit and being able to view actual artifacts that have been recovered from the wreckage. My daughter was only ten when we visited, but easily recalls the displays she viewed that day, especially the items recovered from the ocean floor, she said. I recall how fascinated she was when we learned about how much soap was needed to launch the enormous floating city into the water. My dear daughter thinks it’s a good thing that the children of the R.S.S. Titanic are now being celebrated and honored through this new exhibit.
Thankfully, we only live about two hours from Branson and hope to see this great new exhibit soon. For more information, please contact us at 800-381-7670.
The middle picture below shows the comparison of a child’s size to that of the Titanic. If my memory serves me correctly, I believe the boat in Branson is built to about 1/4 of the size of the original majestic boat. My daughter was very tall at age 10, so imagine your child in her place.
