Display of Objects from the Titanic and the Olympic

The 15th April 2022 marks the 110th anniversary of the most famous maritime disaster of all time, the sinking of the Titanic. The loss of life from the sinking of the unsinkable ship at over 1,500 souls had repercussions across the country in hundreds of cities, towns and villages. Torquay Museum was part of this national mourning as Hester Forbes Julian, daughter of William Pengelly, lost her husband Henry. A small number of items from the ship and its crew are on temporary display in the Explorer’s Gallery at The Museum. This small display in our Explorers Gallery is a taster for a special exhibition which will be held at the Museum this summer.
