The Titanic in Pigeon Forge<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With images of the Costa Concordia disaster<\/strong> off the coast of Italy still front and center, maybe this is not the best time to talk about shipwrecks as a tourism attraction.<\/p>\n

But for history lovers, shipwreck aficionados or travelers just looking for something interesting to do in a destination they are vacationing in anyway, there are three upcoming events that may be of interest.<\/p>\n

On April 14, the Titanic Museum Attraction in Branson, Mo., and the Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., will be presenting a show, \u201cA Night to Remember: An Original Musical Tribute to Titanic,\u201d marking the centennial of the ship ill-fated knock into an iceberg while crossing the Atlantic.<\/p>\n

Both shows will include appearances by descendants of some of the Titanic\u2019s 2,208 passengers and crew, as well as musical performances and other history-tinged ceremonies.<\/p>\n

The performance in Branson kicks off at noon local time while the show gets under way in Pigeon Forge at 8:30 p.m. the same day.<\/p>\n

The museum in Branson sustained \u201cnext to no damage\u201d during a recent tornado and the performance there will go on as scheduled, a spokesperson says.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Nantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum on Nantucket Island, Mass., will be presenting \u201cGuiding Lights: Nantucket\u2019s Lighthouses, Keepers & their Families\u201d May 24 to Oct. 8, 2012.<\/p>\n

Before there were satellites, global positioning systems and Google Earth, Nantucket\u2019s lighthouses and the families, which operated them, were essential resources for sailors and ships that approached the island.<\/p>\n

The exhibition, which features the museum\u2019s more than 5,000 artifacts and an interactive shipwreck map, celebrates the historical legacy.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, if the emphasis on shipwrecks at these three museums<\/strong> doesn\u2019t exactly put you in the mood for sailing \u2013 don\u2019t worry, you can always fly<\/a><\/strong> or drive there.<\/p>\n
