Bring the reality to live within our hearts forever

The Titanic is well known by the generation of the 80s and 90s, as well as the descendants and historians who have brought their curiosities to work. James Cameron brought the tragedy to our hearts in his movie, but witnessing the archaeological discoveries turns our feelings toward the tragedy to a personal level.

For years I have studied the Titanic experts and observed their research. I have taken a particular interest in the passengers, both rich and poor, and the knowledge I have obtained about the individuals lives have brought me to "know" them and hold them in my heart. The artifacts must be brought back from the darkness, not just to serve our curiosities but to touch the lives of viewers and bring the memory of the Titanic to life.
