The Titanic Comes To Kansas City
This weekend, July 23-July 26, 2009, sees the most famous ship constructed in Ireland, Titanic, come to Kansas city. Kind of.
“Titanic: Treasures from the Deep” is a “Mobile Museum”, a FREE event taking place at The Legends in Village West Mall in Kansas City, Kansas this weekend.
Described as family friendly, the museum has a walk through that presents not only the history of Titanic’s maiden voyage, but also showcases a collection of more than 50 previously lost items from the Titanic wreckage as well as the history that surrounds them.
COUNTRY has partnered with RMS Titanic, Inc (the organization responsible for the Titanic artifact management) in the development of this truly fascinating traveling event.

Such is the impact of the Titanic on the Irish psyche, the ship being built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, and its final stop on its doomed maiden voyage being at Cobh (then Queenstown) in Cork, that we’ve spoken a lot about the ship here on IrishKC - here’s such a sampling of some earlier posts:
• Titanic, how many Irish passengers survived?
