One floor down we find out about the iceberg and we read some of the messages sent from the Titanic asking for help. We learn the outcome of some of the passengers and just as the Titanic sank that night we too also descent down the floors learning more and more about the sinking, rescue attempts and the inquires.

Just when you think you can go no further into the building you literally come to the bottom of the ocean. In a darkened room we stood on a glass floor and beneath us is a film of the Titanic lying in the bottom of the ocean. You can make out all the different hatches and parts of the ships. I know I've seen this video before but in this settings its all very eerie.
The entire museum had loads of interactive exhibits for children |
