The Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, is well located, on the waterfront along the boardwalk. Which makes it very accessible. I went for a visit, only because I read that they have lots of artifacts from the Titanic. I was not deceived, they do have many items (letters, pieces of the boat, luggage’s, etc.) . Even if it’s an event that happened in 1912 and that no member of my family were involved (dead, missing or survivors). You can’t help it, that visit is emotional. Just by looking at the artifacts, it’s like you were part of the action . Because of the movie, perhaps, but still, you can’t remain insensitive to the atmosphere of the room. Everyone is silent, and it’s no a joyous mood, it’s almost sad.
Yes, I would recommend a visit, but it’s more like a tribute to the brave passengers that died or survived, that tragedy! From my point of view, I don’t think that Kids (youngers) would understand and appreciate that historic tour. But, if someone’s watched the movie before the visit, that is a tour that you might enjoy, because it all becomes real!
