This weekend David and I and a few of our friends; Derek, Jamie, Erick, Shar and Bof drove up to Milwaukee, WI to visit the Milwaukee Public Museum for the Titanic Exhibit. This exhibit included artifacts and personal belongings from the ships survirors and deceased. It was very interesting. They have been able to bring up, clothing, jewelry, money, dishes, toiletries, all sorts of stuff. On one hand it's very eirie looking at stuff that once belonged to these people that are now dead and not only dead, but that drowned in the sinking of the Titanic and on the other it's quite amazing at how in tact a lot of it is. There were bottles of medicine and champagne that still had liquid in them. There was even a jar of face powder that still had powder in it. In a lot of cases they had photos of the items either on the person (clothing/jewelry) while they were still alive on the ship or where they found it amongst the wreckage next to the item.
It was really cool. I hightly recommend going to see it if the exhibit travels to your area. In fact if you google Titanic Exhibit, you'll see a list of destinations and dates.
Now, a trip to Milwaukee wouldn't complete of course without a trip to a brewery so we visited Sprecher brewery, in Glendale, WI while we were in town. Camera's were not allowed at the exhibit, but was able to catch a few photos at the brewery.
