Since I saw Titanic's movie in 1st of Eso, I have been really interested in it. I have read books, I have seen documentals,... It's amazing. In consequence, I needed to go to Titanic's exhibition in Barcelona!! And I went there :) There was a LOT OF PEOPLE. We had to done two hours to enter... but it worth it. Really.
First, we had to enter for a gangway, where they took us a photograph. We bought the photo... it really seems we are in the Titanic! Afterwards, they gave us auriculars. As long as we were listening to the record, it was guiding us through the different rooms. There were a lot of photographs, objects which were found in Titanic's rests and also in the pockets deads...
There was a lot of stories into that transatlantic. I started to cry as long as I was listening to them. For example, there was a couple who decided to die together, holding each other in a cabin, because the husband couldn't get on the lifeboats and his wife decided to stay with him.
It's a tragic story, but really, it happened because they wanted.... I mean, there's a lot of things that Titanic's tripulation didn't care:
First of all, there wasn't enough lifeboats. It should have had 64 rowboats with a capacity for 72 people and they put only 32. Why? Because they thought it wasn't aesthetic and also that people couldn't bask in the sun very well because of the little space. Moreover, when Titanic was sinking, there were a lot of lifeboats with ONLY 15 PEOPLE. And they had capacity to 72!!!
A part from that, if White Star Line's president, Bruce Ismay, hadn't wanted to go too fast, they could evade the iceberg... Captain's Smith was asking him that, but he didn't listen him. Finally, we have remember that they forget their binoculars... so it's understandable they didn't see before the iceberg.
In the exhibition there was a mini iceberg. They said that it had the same temperature as the sea water when Titanic sank. That cold was unbearable; I couldn't take it more than 10 seconds! Poor people... Really, it's an interesting exhibition and I recommend it to everybody!! I'm extremely sensitive and I cried...
In conclusion, what a pity that Titanic is now under the sea... it was a INCREDIBLE transatlantic,... I can't believe it yet.
In fact, It's very normal that Titanic sink! I hate the person who decided that the lifeboats were aestethic, after we had that someone forgotten the binouclars for see the icebergs. And we can forget that in the lifeboots for 72, the workers only put 15. It's horrible.
ResponEliminaApart from that the exposure was very nice, the rooms, the sets,the objects... All was fantastic!
