Uncovering the lesser-known facts and theories surrounding the Titanic's sinking.
On the 111th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, people continue to be drawn to the story of the ship's maiden voyage, iceberg, sinking, and undersea decay. The Titanic Historical Society and Titanic Museum in Indian Orchard, Mass. offer visitors a look at hundreds of objects recovered from the wreck site. The largest piece of wreckage recovered from the Titanic is a 15-ton section of the hull measuring 26 feet by 12 feet, which is on display at Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas. Titanic traveled less than 3,000 miles and its lifeboats were not filled to capacity.
