Yesterday's experience at Titanic Expo at Place Bonaventure was something I will never forget. The Titanic has been important to me ever since I was introduced to its history at 7 years old. It was one of the first times that the loss of life at that magnitude truly resonated with me. Of course, being that young, I didn't fully grasp it like I do now. 28 years later, my heart is still drawn to everything related to the Titanic.
If you're even remotely interested in the story of the Titanic, its passengers, the crew, and how all of it came to be, I highly recommend visiting the exhibit. We soaked in as much as we could for 2 hours- reading every bit of information, and absorbing all of the photos and memorabilia. Then, we continued to the VR experience which lasted about 15 minutes. It may not be for everyone (read the warnings- it can feel quite disorienting at times!) but if you're comfortable, it is definitely a fun addition to the exhibit.
At the end, the gift shop is filled with fun souvenirs (I even got a piece of the rope that is used in the film!!). From shirts and postcards, to mugs, bags and much more- there is a keepsake for everyone.
I cannot say "thank you" enough to everyone who put this together for all of us to enjoy. It feels like a dream that I will cherish forever. read more
