Titanic exhibition docks in Millport

Visitors to the Museum of the Cumbraes can step back in time and explore the remarkable story of the world's most famous ship in a major new exhibition, Titanic Honour and Glory – the Unforgettable Story of the Tragic Liner.
The free exhibition traces the story of RMS Titanic, from her launch and maiden voyage in April 1912 to her tragic sinking in the North Atlantic, which claimed more than 1,500 lives.
On loan from Titanic Honour and Glory Ltd, the exhibition features an unrivalled collection of genuine and rare artefacts from Titanic and her sister ships, Olympic and Britannic.
Highlights include original China dinner plates used aboard Titanic, personal belongings from passengers and crew, a lifeboat nameplate, and a nightdress belonging to first-class passenger Margaret Welles Baron Swift, who survived the disaster.
Visitors can also discover glimpses of life aboard the luxurious White Star Line vessels through artefacts from Olympic and Britannic, while film fans will be able to see one of the dresses worn by Kate Winslet in the blockbuster Titanic and a replica of the iconic Heart of the Ocean necklace.
Quote: Titanic remains one of the most fascinating stories in maritime history. This exhibition offers a unique opportunity for visitors to get up close to genuine artefacts and learn more about the people, stories and legacy behind the world’s most famous ocean liner. We are delighted to bring this remarkable collection to Millport.
