Titanic Exhibition


These were the photos taken on 20 April when Chew Yan and I went to the Titanic Exhibition. The exhibition was really a great one. There were a lot of artifacts to see. Each sector had different decoration. They used lighting to mimic different parts of the real ship. For example the deck, the engine room and when the ship was under the water.

We saw the decorations of the actual first class, second class and third class room. The first class room decoration was really beautiful. Old european kind of style. It's like the different class of air plane tickets. They put the value of the tickets back then into present value. IT WAS REALLY DAMN EXPENSIVE TO EVEN BOARD THE SHIP WITH THIRD CLASS TIX. If I didn't remember wrongly, it was $900+ for the 3rd class tix put into present value.

We got to touch the ice berg also. It's just like ice.... hahah.

I remembered reading a description of one man's belonging.
The guy was supposed to board the ship with his friends but he was kidnapped halfway. His friends boarded the ship, bringing his belonging with him, thinking that he would be able to rush there in time to board the ship with them. Sadly/Happily, he didn't board the train and all of his friends who boarded the ship were dead. His belongings were dug out from the ship and put up for exhibition.

There were a lot more things but I'm lazy to type it out. I still have my resume and cover letter to do. SAD 3RD YEAR LIFE.
