Titanic exhibition coming to Bristol

By Martin Booth  Wednesday Jan 19, 2022

Some items from on board the Titanic that have never been displayed in public before are among those that will be part of an exhibition coming to Bristol.

Titanic Museum Exhibition – Bristol will feature items including a notebook used by a third class steward, a pocket watch and other personal items owned by one of the ship’s stokers, and a fog horn used during the rescue of passengers.

The week-long exhibition will also feature information about the people from Bristol that boarded the Titanic, which sank in the North Atlantic on her maiden voyage in 1912.

All of the items that will be on display are from the private collection of Tom Rudderham, whose acquisition of Titanic artefacts only began in 2020.

The Titanic Museum is on display at The Island on Bridwell Street from February 22-27. For tickets and more information, visit www.titanicmuseum.org/exhibition-bristol
