Really fascinating morning in Dallas today with an exclusive media preview of the new Titanic, The Exhibition, showcasing artifacts and history from the ever-lasting lore of the doomed ship including the manifest bottom right which list 1,400 more passengers than life boat space.

What holds the public’s attention after more than 110 years includes the hugely popular movie & the 2 themes of man’s all-time engineering feat for the era, building an ‘unsinkable’ ship and folly of thinking such a thing was actually possible.
