The Titanic Experience

The pictures were taken at the Titanic Experience in Orlando, FL. The museum is owned by one of the Titanic's divers. He and his son, age 13, have dived to see the wreckage and have created this museum with different articles, both original and replica. I will be researching my character Margaret "Peggy" Devaney to see what happened following her survival of the Titanic at age 19. 

 

Margaret "Peggy" Devaney O'Neill was between 19 and 20 when she boarded the Titanic as a third class passenger. "Margaret Devaney herself never knew her birthday and later adopted the same date as her husband. She later said that growing up in the poor and rural areas of Ireland, one didn't celebrate birthdays so it wasn't unnatural to not know one's birthday (encyclopedia-titanica.org)." She and her husband had 6 children, two of which are still living. She died June 12, 1974, around the age of 82. She was actually characterized in the James Cameron film. She is most famous for having provided the pocket knife to help cut the rope from the boat she was in.
More to come...

Never realized this was in Orlando. The FL Intl Museum had an exhibit of Titanic artifacts in 1995 or 1996 that I found quite interesting.
