Night with a Museum - The Mariners Museum and Park

Built of iron and designed for unsurpassed luxury and comfort, the RMS Titanic set sail on her maiden voyage in April 1912. Yet, the ship was not able to complete that first trip. Join The Mariners’ Museum and Park as we examine the facts and fiction surrounding this remarkable vessel and the disaster that brought about her final end. As told through the stories and images of some of her passengers and crew, we'll glimpse how three classes of passengers traveled on the once mighty ship and how this famous maritime disaster helped bring about the changes that still affect modern-day safety at sea.
Meet the Speaker: Wisteria Perry has worked in the museum field for almost two and a half decades. Over the years, she has been affectionately referred to as the “crafty lady” by colleagues and co-workers due to her ability to make things from pine needles, thread, fabric, gourds and other unusual materials. Currently serving as the Associate Curator of Community Engagement at The Mariners' Museum and Park, she is enthusiastic about creating experiences and presenting programs in fun and engaging ways for various audiences. When not roaming the halls of the Museum or buried deep within the Museum’s vast collection, one can find Wisteria cooking up tasty morsels, quilting, embroidering, planning her dream trip or trying to keep up with her niece and nephew. Wisteria has been with The Mariners’ Museum and Park since 2009.
