Titanic, April 15, 2012

The Luxor has a great exhibit about the Titanic, and a big model of the ship in the lobby. I can't countenance pulling personal artifacts from an ocean grave, but I took a look. One hundred years, almost to the day, since the sinking, and it's a haunting experience to look at the iron hull, the china, and the personal effects of people who died there.
