Nearly 98 years ago, the Titanic sank on her ill-fated voyage, but the ship is preserved by 'The Titanic of Pigeon Forge,' a giant replica located in Tennessee.
The world's largest museum attraction, the 'Titanic of Pigeon Forge' is 100 feet tall and features the famous ship's front bow. A 30-foot tall replica of the infamous iceberg has also been placed near the ship replica.
Opened in April of 2010, the museum also includes 400 artifacts from the real Titanic; guests can even listen to survivor stories, touch the iceberg, enter the First Class stateroom or a Third Class cabin.
