Georgia Aquarium, in association with RMS Titanic, Inc., has announced the worldwide debut of Titanic Aquatic opening August 22, 2008. Titanic Aquatic brings to life the story of the fated Ship through authentic artifacts and hands-on interactive experiences.
Through this exhibition, Georgia Aquarium will offer insight into Titanic’s fabled past and modern-day recovery efforts. Titanic Aquatic includes a vast collection of more than 190 artifacts recovered from Titanic’s debris field including 40 that have never been seen before.
In addition to recovered artifacts and dramatic room recreations, the exhibition will engage visitors through interactive displays and captivating high-definition video presentations on Titanic’s construction, maiden voyage, tragic sinking and recovery of authentic artifacts.
“This is the first time this exhibition will be on display in an aquarium,” states Bruce Eskowitz, President and CEO of Premier Exhibitions, Inc. “Incorporating Georgia Aquarium’s unique setting with the exhibit’s hands-on educational displays offers a compelling backdrop to the Titanic story.”
“This unique exhibition will pay tribute to a great story of human achievement and will be a truly memorable experience for visitors of all ages,” said Carey Rountree, Georgia Aquarium’s vice president of sales and marketing. “Titanic Aquatic will give Aquarium visitors a unique perspective on one of the world’s most magnificent ships, whose story is forever intertwined with the sea.”

The Company was granted Salvor-in-Possession rights to the wreck of Titanic by a United States federal court in 1994 and has conducted seven research and recovery expeditions to the Titanic rescuing more than 5,500 artifacts.
