Dogs aboard the Titanic

This was something I had not heard before, that dogs were aboard the Titanic. I guess I wrongfully assumed that like today, dogs are not allowed aboard cruise ships. But the Titanic was not a cruise ship since immigrants were also on board that maiden voyage. The wealthy did travel with their dogs and ship travel would have not been any different in the early 1900's.

One of the world's largest museums that is solely dedicated to the history of the Titanic is having the world's first tribute to dogs aboard the Titanic.



The really cute video above is about the event, which will run from March 2010 to December 2010. They will be featuring stories about the dogs that were on board that fateful voyage. Maybe they will have some stories about any dog heroes that saved lives.

The Titanic Museum and Attraction is located in Branson, MO. Branson is noted for being the show capital of the east coast but you can now see that it is much more than that.
