@TitanicBranson I have been fascinated by the Titanic for years. I would like to know who the mixed race couple in 2nd class were? I wonder if they found that difficult against the constraints of society back then? Was anything ever documented?
@scorpietta The Laroche family did have to strugle with many of the constraints of society in France, this is believed to be at least a mojority reason for their move to Haiti. As for the what happened to the loving cup, I will ask our currator and reply when we find out. Thank you for your interest and great questions.
@TitanicBranson Also, whatever happened to the loving cup that was given to Capt Rostron of the Carpathia? Sorry to hound you with qeustions, but I am not sure I'll ever get there.
@scorpietta Our curator has told me that while he has read many articles about the presentation of the Loving Cup and Rostron's life itself, there is little telling what may have happened to the cup in the last 99 years. The likely conjecture is the family retains possession of this artifact. Thank you for this great question! If I discover any more information I will let you know.
Millvina Dean, February 1912 - May 31st 2009 (Titanic 99th Anniversary launch).

@Abricialio There is actually a tribute to Millvina Dean, in addition to many other individuals, at the Titanic Museum in Branson.

@TitanicBranson Very cool. :)
You people should rebuild the other piece of the Titanic on it. I would also like to see an Britannic and Olympic museum (the sisters of Titanic).

@TitanicBranson So they were on their initial move aboard the Titanic? I can only imagine what they had to deal with. Thanks!

@TitanicBranson Thank you. I imagine that they have and that they are probably deeply proud of Capt. Rostron (as they should be!!).
