New Titanic artifact coming to Denver
DENVER, Colo. (KRDO) -- The Molly Brown House Museum will be showcasing a never-before-seen artifact from the Titanic.
The museum states that the artifact will be a letter sent directly from the Titanic, showcased in the exhibition "See Justice Done: The Legacy of the Titanic Survivors' Committee," which will be open until September 21.
Officials say the letter was written by a survivor, Archibald Gracie, who wrote to a friend while on board the ship using Titanic’s stationery. The museum says his letter included a foreboding message: “It is a fine ship, but I shall await my journey’s end before I pass judgment on her.”
Other artifacts will also be included in the exhibit including a letter by Margaret to her daughter Helen days after the Titanic disaster, filling in details of her experience, a mysterious flag with a patch that reads, “From the crew survivors to Mrs. J. J. Brown,” and the Egyptian talisman that survived the Titanic sinking in Mrs. Brown’s pocket.
Margaret "Molly" Brown is a survivor of the Titanic, whose house is now the home of the museum.
