Hear Ghostly Voices at the Titanic Artifact Exhibition in Boston

Boston, Massachusetts

If you are looking for something really cool to do in Boston that won't be around forever, consider going to an immersive experience that will bring you back to 1912.

Titanic, the Artifact Exhibit is happening now at the Saunders Castle at Park Plaza in Boston, Massachusetts.

Most people know of the Titanic through either history class or the 1997 movie. We all agree, at this point, by the way, that there was room on that door for Jack too.

This same exhibition was in Portland, Maine years ago in 2016. I went to go see it then and it was really, really moving.

For decades pieces of furniture, china, clothing, chairs, etc., lay 2 1/2 miles below the sea in the North Atlantic. No one had seen them since April of 1912, according to titanicboston.us, until the wreck was discovered in 1985. They started pulling up artifacts in 1987 they continue to collect them to this day.

The Titanic sailed from Southampton, UK in April 10, 1912 and sank on April 15, 1912. Only a few days for such a magnificent ship that took years to build.

When I saw this exhibition in Portland, I remember vividly, the images of the actual people who boarded the Titanic. Their faces were haunting. There were actual quotes from them displayed with their portraits.

Class status was clearly, cruelly defined on the Titanic, which is prominently displayed at the Exhibit. Quite literally, they categorized people as First, Second and Third class citizens. They also show how many in each class survived and how many perished.

To get there, if you're coming from New Hampshire, I would take the bus to South Station, then either walk to Park Plaza or take an Uber. I'm going to guess that it's about a 15 minute walk.

The address of the Castle is 130 Columbus Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts.

"I'll never let go, Jack. I'll never let go." OH! The tears!
