Washington DC's Hidden Titanic Memorial
“And I have to take a moment to talk about the artist who designs it, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney because she is really fascinating. She is Vanderbilt, like THE Vanderbilts - she is the second daughter of Cornelius & Alice, her great-grandfather is Commodore Vanderbilt, so she is money money money to the nth degree."
Our mini-episodes are designed to share some of our favorite off-the-beaten-path gems in the city and this is a personal favorite. Did you know that D.C. is home to a Titanic memorial? It's a hidden gem tucked away near the popular Wharf neighborhood, which we visit on our Southwest Waterfront neighborhood tour.
Join us as we discover how this Titanic memorial ended up in our nation's capital and why the eccentric designer is one of the most interesting women in art history.
