White Star
Memories - the brainchild of collector and R.M.S.
“Olympic” Historian John White. The company was formed
in 1997 and now houses probably the largest privately
owned collection of ‘White Star Line’ & “Titanic”
material in Europe.
Taking a
diverse approach, “White Star Memories” has not only
original artefacts and ephemera, but the largest
“TITANIC” book collection to be found anywhere and many
important film props; in particular, some of the famous
costumes worn during the production of the James Cameron
1997 blockbuster “Titanic”.
Beautifully
presented in specially designed cabinets, original
pieces include a large collection of silverware, china,
furniture, clothing and much more, to give a real
insight into life during the Victorian & Edwardian
period of ocean travel.
The
exhibits are superbly complimented by dozens of backing
boards, banners, videos and even a mock up of the wreck
site as seen through a submersible’s window, all of
which help guide the visitor through history, telling a
story that has gripped the imagination for over 90
years… |
