OBJECTS RELATED TO THE TITANIC ON VIEW APRIL 6 AT THE NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY’S DIMENNA CHILDREN’S HISTORY MUSEUM Special display commemorates the centennial of the Titanic’s maiden voyage

The New-York Historical Society will commemorate the centennial of the Titanic’s maiden voyage with an installation in the DiMenna Children’s History Museum featuring items from the collection related to the Titanic, including:

· a bronze medal presented to Arthur Rostron, captain of the Carpathia, for his heroic rescue of Titanic survivors

· a Marié miniature depicting a survivor, Mrs. John Borland Thayer, whose husband died on the Titanic but whose son also survived

· Washington Dodge’s handwritten eyewitness account of the disaster, written within days of the sinking, which is one of the earliest and most compelling accounts of the tragedy

· a photographic portrait of Isidor Straus, owner of H.R. Macy & Co., and his wife, Ida, who could have entered a lifeboat but did not want to be separated from her husband, and in turn, the two perished together

The DiMenna Children’s History Museum will also host a special reading of Titanic Sinks! with author BarryDenenberg on Sunday, April 15 at 1:00 pm.

ABOUT THE DIMENNA CHILDREN’S HISTORY MUSEUM

The DiMenna Children’s History Museum is a new interactive museum at the New-York Historical Society that brings American History to life for children through the lives of other children from the past. Featuring both permanent and special exhibits that incorporate historical artifacts and replicas, objects and illustrations, three-dimensional pavilions and interactive elements, it is designed to immerse visitors in American history by encouraging them to become “history detectives” by exploring different historical periods and making their own historical discoveries. The DiMenna Children’s History Museum is named for a $5 million donation from Joseph and Diana DiMenna.

The installation will be on view April 6 through June 3, 2012.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
