Titanic

Find Out What it Was Like To Be on the Titanic by Mark Whichard

For close to 100 years the story of the Titanic has fascinated people around the world. It has been treated in two major films and countless dramatizations. One Titanic expert, G. Michael Harris, has created an exhibit, Titanic: The Experience, in Orlando which is designed to "put you onboard the Titanic."

The exhibit has replicas of the various areas of the ill-fated vessel and you go on a tour of the ship. When you enter you are given a ticket with one of the names of the actual passengers on the Titanic's maiden (and final) voyage. At the end of the tour you reach a wall where the names of all the Titanic's passengers are written, and you get to see whether you are one of the lucky ones who survived or among the victims of the ship's collision with an iceberg in the North Atlantic in 1912.

The exhibition occupies 20,000 square feet on Orlando's International Drive, and includes full-scale recreations of the Titanic's most well known rooms including the Grand Staircase, First Class Parlor Suite, Verandah Café, Boilers and Promenade Deck.

To help you get into the "feel" of it, there are professional actors in period costumes who play the roles of well known Titanic figures such as Captain Smith, Molly Brown and the Titanic's designer, Thomas Andrews. They tell stories of the passengers and the crew and give you an hour long-guide guided tour of the ship.

The exhibit includes a special Underwater Room where an eight foot replica of the Titanic is shown as she sits on the bottom of the Atlantic today. The exhibit also contains 200 artifacts and historical treasures as well as movie memorabilia from the films about the Titanic, including the James Cameron film, Titanic.

An interactive Dive Area and Captain's Bridge are the most recent additions to the exhibit.

The Titanic Experience is thus a mixture of a museum and an interactive theater which tries to give you the actual experience of being onboard the storied ocean liner. Anyone who has seen the Titanic movie or has been fascinated with the story of the Titanic is likely to enjoy a visit to this exhibit.

If you are really a Titanic buff, you can even buy out the facility for a private event such as a corporate party or even a wedding. Several weddings have already taken place on the Titanic's "Grand Staircase" at the exhibition in Orlando.

Titanic: The Experience is located 7324 International Drive, Orlando Florida 32819

When the Titanic struck the iceberg it was rumored that John Jacob Astor quipped, "I asked for ice, but this is ridiculous." You can put yourself back in time and in the shoes of Astor and other passengers by visiting Titanic: The Experience the next time you are in Orlando
