A new exhibit arrives in London next month featuring 14 new artifacts from the Titanic, the ill-fated ocean liner memorialized in the popular movie starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio.
On November 5, Titanic: The Artefact Exhibition opens at the 02 Arena in London, England, and focuses on the human stories behind the ship’s 1912 collision with an iceberg that killed 1,517 people.
The exhibit includes video footage from the site of the wreck, which was finally located 73 years later, several hundred miles off the coast of Newfoundland, in 1985.
Of the 300 items recovered from the wreckage, such as the pocket watch of a wealthy passenger, perfume bottles from the era, postcards, sheet music, and stamps, the exhibit will also unveil 14 new finds.
In its time, Titanic was the world’s largest passenger steamship with state-of-the- construction considered to be unsinkable. The news of its collision with an iceberg and eventual sinking just four days into its maiden voyage shocked the world.
Visitors will receive a replica boarding pass and can check the memorial wall to see if their passenger survived or perished. The exhibition runs from November 5, 2010 until May 1, 2011.
