ATLANTA — When the fine china, brine-soaked shoes and water-stained sheet music from the wreckage of the RMS Titanic aren’t on tour around the world, they have a permanent home in Atlanta at Premier Exhibitions, which has guardianship.
The 5,500-piece collection, worth nearly $200 million, has helped unlock the mysteries of the mammoth passenger ship, which on April 15, 1912, became the watery grave of 1,517 people, 2.5 miles below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.
About 200 pieces from the collection will be exhibited at the Georgia Aquarium starting today, the first time the show has been at an aquarium. Officials hope to breathe life into the 14-year-old show and bring more visitors to one of the world’s largest fish tanks.
