ShipSpace is an interactive maritime museum in Inverness, Scotland. The museum is situated along the historic Caledonian Canal at the Muirtown Basin. The 1:10 scale Titanic model is one of the main attractions.
Inside the museum building there are various interactive exhibits, photos, posters and information about the ship available as well as a rolling film that shows divers going down to the sunken ship.
Outside, the 1:10 scale Titanic model is the centrepiece of the museum. The scale model contains three main rooms: a Parisian-styled café, a replica bridge, and a Marconi radio communications room.[1]
Other exhibits outside include:
A replica of the Nautile submarine, one of the mini submersibles that dove 3 miles down to the Titanic
The Guiding Star, a West Coast creel fishing boat which was the last built at Inverness Thornbush slipway.
A full-scale replica of the Star Of Hope, the first Herring Drifter from Buckie.
A 45 ft RNLI Watson Class life boat.[2]
The museum is located in the east building, which has been constructed in the mode of the original
west building, a toll house. The two buildings are separated by a corridor.[3]
