Today is our 2nd travel day and we will be stopping at the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge and taking their tour!
The RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner operated by the White Star Line that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912, after striking an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, more than 1,500 died, making the sinking one of modern history's deadliest peacetime commercial marine disasters. RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time. Thomas Andrews, chief naval architect of the shipyard at the time, died in the disaster.
