artefacts from RMS Titanic and RMS Olympic.

This remarkable object handling display also includes autographs from Titanic survivors, making it a must‑see experience as we mark 113 years since the sinking.

Historian Paul Hunt will be on hand throughout the event to share stories, answer questions, and guide visitors through his collection.

The table is covered with a Union Jack cloth and holds framed historical documents, photographs, artefacts, and information panels.
