Titanic Remembered

The National Maritime Museum marks the centenary of the sinking of the Titanic with an exhibition that includes never-seen-before letters, photographs and objects from a collection gathered by Walter Lord during research for his best-selling book A Night to Remember (1955). Lord corresponded with more than 60 Titanic survivors and their relatives, resulting in poignant accounts of the disaster from passengers of all classes and crew members. He was given numerous personal artefacts by his interviewees, and objects on display include these silk embroidered evening slippers worn by survivor Edith Russell (right).

Times and prices: 10am-5pm. Free.
