Titanic

The Museum of Idaho has an awesome exhibit on the Titanic till Sept. We loved it. I was able to take all 4 of my kids through and they learned a ton and actually enjoyed it as much as I did.

At the entrance instead of a regular ticket you were given a boarding pass with all the information on one of the actual passengers of the Titanic. Info included: Name, age, if they were a 1st 2nd or 3rd class passenger, who they traveled with, where they were coming from, where they were going and why, and even a note on the end telling about their feelings before the voyage. London's person was told by a vagabond that she would soon take a long journey, there would be tragedy but she would be saved.

After you went through the entire display they had a wall listing all the passengers and crew with the names of who lived and who died. With our 4 tickets mine was the only one that died. She was a mistress to a man traveling with his children. But Aspens woman and 7 year old daughter survived, but the man next to us had the name of their husband and he didn't make it.

It was so sad to learn about these people and what really happened. They evacuated women and children first but when you looked on the death list more than half of the 1st class survived, about even on the 2nd class, but maybe only 20% of the 3rd class made it, almost all the crew went down with the ship, more than of the 3rd class.

One woman wouldn't let them evacuate her because they wouldn't let her 2 teenage boys go with her because they were considered men. She was the only surviving female to be pulled from the water.

They had an actual iceberg you could touch. It said the temperature of the ice was 31 degrees, the temperature of the water these people jumped into was 29 degrees. Almost all of them were dead of hypothermia within 20 mins.

It's so sad to me that people then, and now, think the technology we have, and the things we can construct with it, as indestructible. Nothing can surpass the hand of God.
