The National Postal Museum's exhibit "Posted Aboard the RMS 'Titanic'" (1999-2000) offered visitors a new look at the doomed Royal Mail Ship. Produced for that exhibit, this video features the heroic story of the ship's mail clerks and ends with remarkable underwater footage of the ship. R.M.S. Titanic, Inc., the publicly held company responsible for the recovery of "Titanic" artifacts, provided these remarkable video views of the mailroom aboard "Titanic." The Smithsonian Institution gratefully acknowledges R.M.S. Titanic, Inc.’s support. Read more: http://npm.si.edu/fireandice
