"The Titanic Museum", located in Indian Orchard, Massachusetts, is a non-profit organization with the purpose of preserving the history of the famous ocean liner RMS Titanic, which sank on April 15 in 1912.
It was founded by the Kamuda family in 1963, who host it and happily answer your questions about the Titanic and the displays.
Besides a very detailed 9-foot model of the Titanic, the displayed artifacts include e.g.: the life jacket of Mrs. Jacob Astor, donated by Mr Astor himself; original blueprints of the ship, the ice message that never made it to the bridge, clothes and contents of the pocketbook owned by Selena Rogers Cook, another Titanic survivor and many more.
Furthermore the Society prints the "Titanic Commutator", a quarterly magazine and hosts an annual convention, where experts, among them some of the few remaining survivors, present in-depth information to members about the maritime disaster.
They also provide links to interesting articles Titanic-related on their website.
