In addition to the re-release of the blockbuster film and a number of TV specials, several museums focus on the disaster from the unique perspective of their location. Among the places to travel are Belfast, where a $150-million-dollar museum was built in honor of the centenary, and Denver, where the "unsinkable" Molly Brown held court.
