Join author Brad Matsen for a lecture and slide show about the making of his bestselling book, Titanic's Last Secrets. In his book, Matsen recounts the story of John Chatterton and Richie Kohler, divers who investigated history's most notorious shipwreck through forensic research and exploration of the wrecks of both Titanic and its sister ship, Britannic. Using never-before-studied archives, they ultimately make their way through a labyrinth of clues to discover a shocking historical cover-up.

The Titanic Enactors Project

There are as many compelling stories about the sinking of the RMS Titanic as there were passengers aboard. Now, these stories are coming to life in Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, as costumed enactors portraying actual passengers roam the exhibition to share their stories and their knowledge of the great ship and its tragic end. Some of the historical figures portrayed in the exhibition include wealthy New Yorker Isador Strauss, the lucky stewardess Violet Jessup, the courageous Countess of Rothes and Milwaukeean Kathryn Crosby. Join us for this dynamic educational project evoking the social and political climate of the Edwardian age as you journey back to history aboard the legendary Titanic.
