| Branson Courier | TITANIC IRISH FESTIVAL ENHANCES AN ALREADY GREAT EXPERIENCE Almost 97 years ago, at 11:30 p.m. on April 14, 1912 the unsinkable RMS Titanic was breached by an iceberg. Less than three hours later she achieved a static permanent place in history as she sank to a watery grave in the frigid waters of the north Atlantic taking 1513 passengers and crew with her. Fortunately, although the great ship herself might be a static piece of history at the bottom of the Atlantic, the celebration and memory of her short life and the passengers and crew who sailed on her are anything but static at Branson's Titanic-Worlds Largest Museum Attraction.... |
