Titanic Reminiscence – 21 July & 30 September 2017. Do you have a connection? If so let Havering Museum know.

Next year Havering Museum are bringing the Titanic: Honour & Glory exhibition down from Scotland and it will be in the Museum for 5 months.  This is a massive project as it will be emptying 80% of the Museum.

In preparation for the exhibition Havering Museum are seeking information from  local people who may have a connection to the Titanic.   It could be they have a relative who was on it and survived or a relative which didn’t survive.   One local connection is Eva Hart who died in the last few years.

We are holding two Titanic Reminiscence:  Friday, 21 July at 1.30pm and one on Saturday, 30 September at 1pm.  (Tickets £3.50).   There is the opportunity for people to share their stories or artefacts or just listen.
