I received the following email from Tim McKenna of Himmelrich, Inc.
Here is the press release with the Bromo Seltzer bottle information for the Antique- Bottles website. Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition includes many other bottles (one containing Champagne) that were salvaged from the wreck site that would interesting to your readers. It would be great if you could mention the exhibit at the Maryland Science Center and list that the bottles are on display through Labor Day.
Thanks

BROMO SELTZER BOTTLE UNVEILED
Maryland Science Center to display iconic Baltimore artifact for the first time
A Bromo Seltzer bottle that was manufactured in Baltimore and recovered from the debris field of the RMS Titanic will be unveiled for display in Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition on Thursday, June 23, 2005 at the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore.
The Maryland Science Center has enhanced the traveling Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition with images and stories reflecting Baltimore’s connection to the ship, its passengers and the disaster. Front-pages from Baltimore newspapers and local mementos show how Baltimore responded to the tragedy and describe the relationships of many passengers to Baltimore. The Bromo Seltzer bottle’s discovery and its unveiling at the Maryland Science Center represent another local strong connection to the enduring story of the Titanic.
More than 250 objects recovered from the from the ship’s wreckage two and a half miles below the ocean’s surface are on display throughout Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition. The preserved artifacts range from scores of serving pieces with the White Star Line insignia, coins, tool parts and hardware to a cherub that adorned the ship’s grand staircase, rings and pendants made from sapphires and diamonds, and a door from Titanic’s D-deck. Personal items on
display in the exhibition include calling cards, a comb and hair brushes, medicine and perfume bottles, and clothing.
As they enter Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition, each visitor will receive a recreated White Star Line boarding pass with an actual Titanic passenger’s name and details of his or her trip. After examining drawings and photos of the ship’s construction, visitors will become immersed in life on board the famous ocean liner by walking through room recreations filled with furniture made by the original manufacturers, objects and clothing, and ambient sounds. A first class stateroom, a third class cabin, and the ship’s grand staircase are depicted in the exhibition.
Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition has been seen by than 15 million people in 40 cities worldwide, making it the most visited exhibition in history. The presentation at the Maryland Science Center is the first time that these artifacts have been seen in the region.
The exhibition will run through Labor Day in the Legg Mason Gallery on level two of the Maryland Science Center.
The Maryland Science Center is located at 601 Light Street at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. For information and tickets, visit www.marylandsciencecenter.org or call the 24-Hour Information Line at 410-685-5225, TDD: 410-962-0223.
