Experience the Titanic as Never Before

Scene from "Titanic: An Immersive Voyage"

Before entering "Titanic: An Immersive Voyage," we were presented tickets -- authentic replicas of the tickets passengers used to board RMS Titanic April 10, 1912. Each ticket was in the name of a real passenger.

Pam's was issued to Edith Louise Rosenbamn, a women's wear reporter who was in Paris for the Easter Sunday fashions when she made the decision to return to New York aboard Titanic. She was traveling First Class (in today's dollars, the cost could range from $3,000 to as high as $100,000). She boarded when the ship stopped in Cherbourg, France.

My ticket bore the name of John "Jack" George Phillips, the senior Marconi Wireless operator who stayed at his post, transmitting SOS messages after the ship's collision with an iceberg.

This was a preview showing of "Titanic: Am Immersive Voyage," opening at South Florida PBS in Boynton
Beach on Jan. 30.  Employing cutting-edge technology, along with 3D environments and immersive video, it creates the closest thing to actually traveling on the ship.
