The Official Kick-Off of Summer!

  Memorial Day Weekend 

"Carter, I am so excited for Memorial Day Weekend at Titanic! It marks the kick-off of the summer vacation season!"

"But, Molly, Memorial Day is about more than that."

"It is?"

"Yes. It is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Without their sacrifice, we wouldn't enjoy many of the freedoms we have today."

"Carter, I thought I was the smart one of the two of us."

"I have my moments!"

"Wait, haven't dogs served in the Armed Forces?"

Yes, and they should be remembered too.

"That's kind of like what we do at the Titanic everyday isn't it?"

"Yes, Molly. We honor the lives of those lost on the Titanic by keeping their memory alive and telling their stories."

"Wow. I feel very special to share the stories of the dogs that were on board the ship."

"Me too. I'm also VERY excited about telling more of the story of Wallace Hartley! Do you know why???"

"Of course! For the first time EVER the violin that he played as the Titanic sank, that he held onto in the icy waters, that was a special gift from his fiancee - THAT VERY VIOLIN - for the first time EVER is in the United States and will be on display right here at our ship from August 1st - August 15th!"

This is a priceless piece of Titanic history!

"For Wallace
on the occasion of our engagement
From Maria"

"Wow, Carter, can you imagine the things this violin has seen? From proudly presenting itself in its pristine beauty, a gift of love that symbolized the hope and promise of a new life unfolding....to basking in its glory, at home in the hands of the skilled musician, producing sounds that tickled the ears of Titanic's most elite passengers...to the plunge into darkness - those skilled hands now clinging to its leather case as final breaths were drawn...(deep sigh)"

"I'm speechless....Molly, I felt really smart until two minutes ago - you used a lot of big words."

"Well, I AM going to be a New York Times Best Seller, remember?"

"If you say so."

"I am, Carter. One day when I retire from my post I will write books!"

"Retire!?"

"Sure. Haven't you ever thought of what you'll do when you're not working at Titanic?"

A vacation in the Bahamas???

"Well, I have big ambitions!"

"Me too - like laying on the sand, soaking up the sun and drinking a tall glass of iced tea!"

"You're hopeless, Carter!"

"Well, Molly, until that day comes we are at our posts at Titanic and our friends can come to see us all summer long!"

What are you doing this summer? Come visit us at the Titanic Museum Attraction in Branson!

Hope to see you soon!

Love, 

Molly & Carter
