American Dreams

Visit our new Titanic exhibit and learn about the massive wave of immigration to America around 1912 exemplified on the Titanic. Margaret Brown was called “Heroine of the Titanic” for starting a relief fund for these immigrant survivors who lost everything at the bottom of the ocean. Explore artifacts from Titanic and other White Star Line ships, including pieces from Titanic’s sister ship, the Olympic. You’ll also find artifacts from another ship, one whose fate resembled that of Titanic, the Cap Arcona.
