Fundraiser to feature re-creation of last meal on Titanic

A special “Night to Remember” seven-course dinner re-creating the last meal served in the first-class dining room aboard the R.M.S. Titanic will be the feature of a fundraiser, to benefit the Johnsville Centrifuge and Science Museum in Warminster.
The event, marking the 110th anniversary of the ship’s sinking on April 15, 1912, will take place from 6 to 10 p.m. April 9, at Spring Mill Manor, 171 Jacksonville Road, Ivyland, and will benefit the capital campaign of the Johnsville Centrifuge and Science Museum.
The event will re-create the opulence that marked the only voyage of the world’s best-known ocean liner. In addition to an elegant seven-course menu, the event will include a champagne toast, a live quartet made up of some of the Philadelphia region’s finest professional musicians playing period music and an exclusive exhibition of never-before-seen Titanic artifacts from the private collection of Titanic expert Craig Sopin, who is also secretary of the Titanic International Society.

“Not many people know this, but the technology that was used to locate the Titanic in 1985 was funded by the Office of Naval Research and based, in part, on the side scanning SONAR systems that were developed by the U.S. Navy at the Johnsville Naval Air Development Center in Warminster. In a way, the discovery of the Titanic was made possible by work done in Bucks County,” said museum President Michael Maguire.
Tickets are $150 per person. Order forms and information can be found at titanicdinner.info.
