Titanic treasures to go on display at U.S. aquarium
The brightly lit room looks like any nondescript warehouse packed with boxes and dusty shelves.
But inside this plain brick building is nearly £107 million ($200 million) worth of treasures from the world's most famous shipwreck.
The 5,500-piece collection contains almost everything recovered from the wreckage of the RMS Titanic.
About 200 pieces from the Titanic collection will be exhibited at the Georgia Aquarium in the U.S. starting today, the first time the show has been at an aquarium.

I went to see a display some years ago.
