To see video footage of the expedition that discovered the Titanic wreck in 1985, visit the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, Mass. WHOI researchers made the find.

 The sunken ship (or pictures of it) can also be seen at "Exploring Titanic" at the Pier Aquarium in St. Petersburg, Fla., through July 1. Board an ersatz underwater vehicle and peer through portholes to see images of the wreck site. The aquarium also shows National Geographic's Secrets of the Titanic.

 For a really big screen view, try Titanica, an IMAX film that visits the ship's ruins. The movie is playing at Seattle's Omnidome and Honolulu's IMAX Theater.

 Pieces of history

 The ship's whistle is one of more than 250 salvaged artifacts in "Titanic: The Exhibition," at St. Petersburg's Florida International Museum until May 15. For the show's next stop, a Titanic catalog (coal from the wreck goes for $10 a lump), and an update on plans to raise a piece of the ship's hull this summer, call (800) 848-2642 or go to www.titanic-online.com.

 Letters, photos, and personal effects tell of "Titanic: Fortune and Fate"–an exhibit at the Mariners' Museum in Newport News, Va., through September 7.

 The Titanic Historical Society Museum in Indian Orchard, Mass., has more than 2,100 items linked to the tragedy, including a telegram from the ship Amerika warning of icebergs.

 At Denver's Molly Brown House Museum, you can see the posh home of the "unsinkable" Titanic heroine.

 Scale models

 At Twentieth-Century Fox's Titanic studio in Rosarito, on Mexico's Baja peninsula, the public can see the set for the engine room and assorted props–as long as the studio is not being used to shoot a new film. The Marine Museum at Fall River, in Fall River, Mass., has a 1-ton model that the same studio built for its 1953 Titanic. A tinier Titanic awaits at Carole and Barry Kaye Museum of Miniatures in Los Angeles. Its 10-foot model is made of 75,000 toothpicks and 2 gallons of Elmer's glue.

What the new movie won't tell you

BY ANNA MLRINE 

The new film Titanic expertly depicts panic on deck, say George Tulloch, contributing author of Titanic: Legacy of the World's Greatest Ocean Liner (Time-Life, $34.95), and John Eaton, Titanic scholar. But the film doesn't tell the whole story. Among the omissions:

 The fire. The liner left Belfast with a fire smoldering in its coal bunker. One theory is that the fire, though controlled, remained unextinguishable–and that the ship was speeding through dangerous iceberg territory to reach New York the night before its scheduled arrival so firetrucks could meet the ship with no press photographers around.

 The fat man. A 250-pound man jumped into a descending lifeboat, knocking one woman unconscious and breaking two of her ribs.

 The baker. The film's heroine, Rose, is one of the last to be plucked from the icy waters. In real life, the final evacuee was Charles Joughin, chief biscuit baker, who impressed passengers by not getting his hair wet. The source of his composure? "He was drunk on lemon extract," explains Eaton.
