The couple’s plan was to marry in San Francisco and start their lives together. Henry gifted the necklace to Kate as a token of his love.

Sadly, Henry lost his life on the tragedy. Kate kept the necklace and a few months later gave birth to her and Henry’s daughter.

Heroic Deeds

Mr and Mrs Strauss

Learn about heroic deeds passengers did to save others.

 

Isidor Strauss refused to enter a lifeboat because he didn’t want to save his own life over women and children. He begged to his beloved wife, Rosalie Ida Strauss to get a lifeboat but Mrs Strauss refused it to too, saying “We have lived together for many years. Where you go, I go.” The last time they were seen, they were holding each other on the deck arm in arm. Both of them died on the Titanic.

Later, the couple got a memorial in New York.

 

Philanthropist and suffragist Lucy Nöel Martha, Countess of Rothes survived the catastrophe in lifeboat No. 8 with her cousin and maid. She encouraged others all the way until help arrived to rescue them with her optimism and determination. She took the paddles and rowed until all the passengers brought to safety.

 

Fiction and Reality

Fiction and reality separates in the exhibition like never before thanks to the contribution of historians and Titanic experts.

It’s been a famous theory that RMS Titanic did not comply with the necessary safety regulations which lead to not having enough lifeboats on the ship. It is true that the ship was supposed to have a second line of lifeboats, but White Star Line decided to remove them for mobility and aesthetic reasons. Legally, however, the Titanic wasn’t required to have those lifeboats. What is more, the ship not only complied with safety regulations, but exceeded them.
