CLOSET CANUCK

Sue Frause has a crush on Canada. Even if you don't, read her travel tips and road notes. View her photos. Maybe plan a trip. It's all about our friends north of the 49th parallel. Cool idea, eh?

titanic sails into victoria, british columbia



Victoria's Royal BC Museum launched its six-month run of
Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition on Saturday.

That's exactly 95 years to the day, April 14, 1912, that
RMS Titanic struck the iceberg that sent it to the bottom of the north Atlantic Ocean.

I had seen a Titanic exhibit at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle in 2001 and was underwhelmed. But after a sneak peek at the Royal BC Museum last month, I'm planning a return visit to Vancouver Island to see the show in its entirety.
