Located in the harbor village of Cobh, where the Titanic took on her last 123 passengers in 1912, the Titanic Experience is a museum that recounts the terrible sinking of the supposedly unsinkable liner. This poignant museum, which currently occupies the former White Star Line premises, will give you its analysis of the facts, through the lives of its passengers, as well as the testimonies of its survivors.
If you can’t make it to Belfast’s Titanic Belfast Experience (the world’s largest museum dedicated to the shipwreck!), then Cobh’s museum should be just what you need!
Since 2012, this site has been offering a look back at the liner’s history, from its construction to its sinking in the icy waters of the Atlantic. The museum uses state-of-the-art equipment to make your visit as interesting as possible: giant screens, cinematographic shows, stage sets, holographic images and touch screens are all on hand to take you back through the painful history of the Titanic.
Don’t miss the testimonials of former passengers, recounting their excitement at boarding one of the most luxurious liners of its day! Don’t miss the museum’s in-depth investigation into the origins of the Titanic’s sinking, the liner’s resting place 100 years after the tragedy, and the fate of each of the 123 passengers who embarked at Cobh, the Titanic’s last port of call before sinking…
It’s a fascinating visit, and one of Cobh’s top attractions. The fun tour can be taken with a guide, and is multilingual.
