   The MMBC commemorates the 100th Anniversary of the Unsinkable Titanic

   It was a dark and stormy night...so begins most stories of woe and tragedy.
   And that is true of this particular story except it was a dark and calm
   night and no one would have guessed that the unsinkable Titanic would
   actually sink.

   April 14th, 1912, the 2,235 passengers aboard the Titanic only felt a mild
   shutter throughout the 900 foot long vessel when it collided with that
   fateful iceberg. It was so brief that no one gave it much thought. The
   result of that mild shutter revealed a deadly slice on the starboard side of
   the bow more than 300 feet down. The iceberg opened the Titanic like a tin
   can causing metal plates to buckle and six watertight compartments to take
   on water.

   Explore more of this fantastically tragic story with this month’s Salty
   Sunday, Treacherous Water, held April 15th from 1-3pm. Join our
   storytellers as they transport you back to that fateful night in 1912 and
   recount other tales of disastrous shipwrecks closer to home in the Pacific
   Northwest – also referred to as the Graveyard of the Pacific.

   Salty Sundays are free with admission. Children 12 and under are always
   free! (Limit two children per paid adult).
