Titanic Museum Attraction

It amazes me to think how much food had to be secured, purchased and stored before a cross-Atlantic voyage. One can't realize how much food it took to feed 2,208 passengers and crew let alone the staff required to prepare that food, This episode is all food as we learn about the chief baker on board as well as the final dinner party aboard Titanic.

This week we revisit one of our most popular and requested Titanic Stories, the story of 9 year old Frankie Goldsmith, third class passenger. Hearing the Titanic story from a child's perspective is an interesting view point that deserves to be shared. We bring his story to life on this episode and together learn the fate of the Goldsmith Family.

Pink ribbons and Pink facemasks, symbols of hope and safety, set to call attention to this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month at the Titanic Museum Attractions.

On this episode we share a personal interview with actual Titanic descendant, Gary Vartanian. Gary is the Grandson of Third-class passenger David (Davit) Vartanian and we had the pleasure of welcoming him to the Branson Museum for a special tour and interview with First Class Maid Jamie. Gary indulges us with a regaling story of his grandparents love story and the journey to a home in America that would span a full decade.

On this episode, we take a look at one exceptional Titanic Family. The Caldwell family consisted of two young missionaries, joined by their infant son, traveling back to America aboard the Titanic, but that wasn't always the plan... Hear from the actual Titanic Descendant of the father, Albert Caldwell, about how fate played a hand in this story of a journey home. This story inspired the descendant, Julie Hedgepeth Williams to write a book, retelling the story her great uncle shared with her, A Rare Titanic Family, and is available for purchase via our website.

On this episode, we take a look at Titanic’s foremost progressive piece of technology.

Do you ever wonder how ships before the Titanic era would communicate?

Well, they didn’t communicate directly at all.

The use of flares and flags were the main communication methods, but all of that changed with the introduction of a Irish- Italian man named Gulielmo Marconi and his revolutionary wireless invention.

Titanic was equipped with a Marconi machine, and two wireless operators. Hear how junior wireless operator, Harold Bride, recalls the night of the sinking in a letter he sent to the Marconi company after the disaster.

What does Labor Day mean to you? A day off? The impending close of Summer?

This week we hear from an actual Titanic descendant, who worked for both the ship yard building Titanic,

and for The White Starline Company itself after Titanic launched, He was surely no stranger to the Labor it took to build and operate the great ship!

Labor day is an important representation of how modern day labor laws must be preserved.

This week we take a look at this national holiday and what it took to get where we are today.

On this episode we continue our voyage on the RMS by exploring second class.

Everyone has heard the stories of the elaborate first class, and we often hear the tales of the large number of third class, but little is shared about Titanic’s Second Class accommodations.

We look to shine the light on the median class, and hear in her own words, a recounting from the night of the sinking from one of Titanic’s very own Second Class passengers.

Third Class on Titanic was quite different than what was to be expected.

This podcast dives into the third class accommodations as well as some actual passenger recounts through letters, journal entries and notes sent back home.

The Grand Stair is the star of this episode of the Titanic Museum Attraction Podcast.
