Indian Orchard’s Titanic Museum

If you are interested to look at the historical Titanic cruise ship, you can find it in the Indian Orchard’s Titanic Museum in Springfield, Massachusetts, wherein the gigantic model ship has been anchored to rest. Here, the many acquisitions are showcased here.


Some of these are the shelves or display cases, posters, paintings, square carpet (from a first class room), books, a deck chair and much more. The 9-ft tall model cruise ship of this Titanic Historical Society Museum also contains a carved oak chair from the actual ship’s dining room, Lifejackets, the original blueprint of the ship, the wireless message received by the ship (from a German sailor) and a lot more of other artifacts. Some of the wealthy survivors of the sunken ship have donated some things to the museum as well as the fanatics. However, the original artifacts are overwhelmed by the fake ones.

It is said that the prices of artifacts that are sold by the shops around the museum (i.e. Jewelries, Titanic movie memorabilia like posters) has skyrocketed because of the many people who got curious about it since the ‘Titanic’ movie has been released. Every day, the museum is packed with a lot of visitors from everywhere in the country and around the world. The Titanic Historical Society’s President, Ed Kamuda runs a shop that sells a lot of things that relate to the Titanic cruise ship. He has met a lot of avid fans and other people that are curious about its different stories including the fictional Jack and Rose characters in the movie.
