Titanic Anniversary Travel

If a legendary sunken ship floats your boat, you're in luck: April 2012 marks the anniversary of the Titanic. In addition to the re-release of the blockbuster film and a number of TV specials, several museums focus on the disaster from the unique perspective of their location. Among the places to travel are Belfast, where a $150-million-dollar museum was built in honor of the centenary, and Denver, where the "unsinkable" Molly Brown held court.

Liverpool Merseyside Museum

The Beatles are no longer Liverpool's only claim to fame: Its Merseyside Museum in the city that was home to the White Star Line — the company that planned and owned Titanic — features century-old artifacts from the aborted journey. Items than include the original builder's model (pictured), an unsent letter from a survivor, a gentleman's pince-nez glasses, and a lady's gown underscore the tragedy. Nearly 100 crew members of the ship were recruited from Liverpool, and visitors who enter the museum receive a card that bears the name of a passenger or crew.
