the ship. In addition to news articles and
advertisements, it contained a daily menu,
the latest stock prices, horseracing results,
and society gossip.
Visitors to the FWMSH exhibit will
find evidence of perfume from a maker
who was traveling to New York to sell his
samples, china etched with the logo of the
took ten months to decorate Titanic.
Of the 1,316 passengers on board 325
were in first class, 285 in second class, and
706 in third class. The ship’s crew numbered
885 men and women divided between three
departments, Deck department, 66, Engine
Department, 325 and Victualling (Passenger
care), Department, 431. The eight band
elite White Star Line, and a 26-gem bracelet with the name “Amy” in script that
probably belonged to one of the wealthy
first-class passengers. The ship was carrying
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, a long
poem written in quatrains encrusted with
1,050 precious stones, each set in gold.
Interestingly, the room number “thirteen” was not used on the ship, and the
fourth funnel on Titanic was fake; the
opinion was that the fourth funnel made
the ship look grander.
Construction on the ship designed by
Thomas Andrews for the White Star Line
began March 31, 1909 and took two years
to build. It was the largest ship built prior to
1912 and the largest moving object built by
man. At 882 feet and nine inches Titanic
was nearly four city blocks long, its width
was 92 feet and 6 inches, and it was 175 feet
tall. There were 2,000 portholes and the
Grand Staircase was paneled in oak and
included a wrought iron and glass skylight.
The eclectic decor included Louis XIV,
Empire Italian Renaissance, Georgian,
Regence, Queen Ann, and Old Dutch. It
members were not included in those numbers because they were from another company and traveled under second-class tickets.
Of the lifeboats on board Titanic 14
were main boats, 2 emergency boats, and 4
collapsibles with a total capacity for 1,178
passengers. Initially most passengers did
not believe Titanic was really sinking and
only 19 people got into the first lifeboat.
There was room for 65 passengers.
Journalist William T. Stead who was
on board had written articles warning of a
great maritime disaster if ships went to sea
without enough lifeboats. It is said when
he realized he was not going to get on a
lifeboat, he went to the smoking room and
began reading a book.
Captain Edward John Smith, who had
38 years with White Star had planned to
retire after Titanic’s maiden voyage. He
was well liked by the wealthy that traveled
on the White Star Line and was often
referred to as “the millionaire’s Captain.” “Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition” runs
through March 24, 2013, Mon.-Sat. 10
a.m.-5 p.m. & Sun. noon to 5. Tickets are
$26, $19, $18, & $6 for members. For tickets

Titanic sank April 15, 1912 at 2:20 a.m.
The Fort Worth Museum of Science
and History pays tribute to the tragedy of
the world’s largest ship in its “Titanic: The
Artifact Exhibition” near the end of the
100th anniversary year of its sinking on
her maiden voyage. Displaying more than
250 legendary artifacts drawn from the
ship’s debris field offers visitors a poignant
look at the iconic ship and its passengers.
The RMS Titanic’s human stories are
told through authentic artifacts and extensive room recreations. Upon entrance each
visitor receives a replica-boarding pass of
an actual passenger. In the “Memorial
Gallery” guests can check their boarding
pass with the name there and discover
whether their passenger and traveling
companions survived or perished.
Visiting the exhibit is like boarding the

ship before it departed for Southampton
on its way to Queenstown, Ireland for its
official sailing date of April 10, 1912. The
cost of a first-class ticket on Titanic to
New York in 1912 was $2,500, approximately $57,000 in 2012. A third-class
ticket cost $40, which is about $900 in
today’s currency. As many as 10 people
lived in the third-class rooms, and there
were only two bathtubs available for the
more than 700 third-class passengers.
The cost of leisure activities for wealthy
passengers was 25 cents to get into the
swimming pool, while a ticket for the
squash court cost 50 cents. Sixty chefs and
chef ’s assistants worked in Titanic’s five
kitchens. They ranged from soup and roast
cooks to pastry chefs and vegetable cooks.
Titanic had its own newspaper, the
Atlantic Daily Bulletin, published on board

West is Among the Best for Culture
and Shopping-and-Dining Delights
A
by Michael H. Price
As long as we’re “out where the West begins,”
as an iconic figure in Fort Worth’s history
described this Cowtown, then we might as well
look even further westward within the city
itself. Pioneering publisher and civic booster
Amon Carter may have intended to give Dallas
the razz when he coined that phrase — but the
West hardly could have picked a keener starting point than Fort Worth.
And Fort Worth, in turn, hardly could have
picked a site more right for its burgeoning west
side Cultural District. Rippling with heavyduty commercial, artistic and residential growth
since the dawn of the 21st century, the west side
overall has seen its very skyline change with the
transformation of a busy West Seventh Street
into a streamlined conduit connecting the
downtown area’s Sundance Square development
with the Cultural District. Heading west (naturally) from downtown Fort Worth, one finds the
Cultural District radiating from the intersection
where Seventh Street crosses University Drive
and, in the process, morphs into the historic,
brick-paved Camp Bowie Boulevard.
Visitors in search of western-style discoveries — from plain-and-fancy dining to fine art
and varied entertainment — will find such
delights in volume on the west side. Cultural
attractions, restaurants, mainstream and specialinterest shopping, and lavish natural gardens
flourish as a reminder of how Fort Worth has
built upon its frontier origins. Several of the
world’s finer museums, playhouses and galleries
anchor a vast Cultural District. The hand-laid
red-brick pavement of Camp Bowie Boulevard
is an attraction in itself, lined with an everexpanding array of art galleries, stage-and-screen
auditoriums, boutiques, scholarly museums, restaurants and lounges, and shopping malls.
The Cultural District
The Fort Worth Museum of Science
& History, commands the westward view of
the district from Montgomery Street and just

northward are additional cultural touchstones:
An expanded and redesigned Amon Carter
Museum of American Art, houses a definitive collection of American paintings, photography, and sculpture, from essential historic
works by Charles M. Russell and Frederick
Remington to a new acquisition of last-century
Native American photography by Edward S.
Curtis. Close by is the Kimbell Art Museum,
itself preparing for an expansion and still living
up to Newsweek’s description as “arguably the
most beautiful museum in America.” The
neighboring Modern Art Museum of Fort
Worth is the oldest such museum in Texas —
housed in a work-of-art 2002 building designed
by world-renowned Japanese architect, Tadao
Ando, and featuring bold gallery exhibitions,
concert attractions and, every weekend, leading-edge independent-studio films.
The Museum of Science & History, anchoring a campus within the Cultural District, has
been designed by similarly renowned architects
Ricardo and Victor Legorreta. Inside the
Museum of Science & History, one finds vast
galleries of Texas-bred dinosaur specimens and
the state’s oil-and-gas heritage, in addition to
the Cattle Raisers Museum, the Fort Worth
Children’s Museum, Stars Café, and a new
digital Noble Planetarium . The Omni
Theater, an IMAX® superscreen dome, links
with the Museum of Science & History and
boasts a new digital sound system and enhanced
lighting. The National Cowgirl Museum
& Hall of Fame is next door to the FMS&H.
The NCM&HF honors women of the American
West from those who have lived and worked
on ranches or who led an expedition, or sat
before an easel, aimed a rifle and hit the bull’s
eye, or sat on the Supreme Court.
When the museum meanderings trigger
an appetite for fine dining, two long-established, museum-based cafés stand ready to
serve. The Kimbell Buffet Restaurant offers
indoor or patio lunch and a light evening

menu within one of the most beautiful modern
buildings in America. The Modern Art
Museum’s 250-seat Café Modern, with an
outdoor terrace, overlooks a serene reflecting
pond. The Modern’s full-service kitchen
delivers superb cuisine for lunch, Sunday
brunch, and scheduled seasonal dinners.
The Great Outdoors offers breakfast subs,
lunch and dinner subs, soups, salads and all
natural ice cream. Off University on White
Settlement Road, a Texas barbecue tradition
reigns at Angelo’s, offering a half-century of
first-class BBQ and ultra-chilled beer.
The Fort Worth Community Art Center,
at the district’s western edge, showcases work
by the city’s homegrown community of artists,
in addition to live-theater venues.
Neighboring the museum community is
the city’s landmark Will Rogers Memorial
Center, a versatile 85-acre entertainment complex — with 45 acres housing the Will Rogers
Coliseum & Auditorium. Its majestic Pioneer
Tower dates from the Texas Centennial
Celebration of 1936. Still the most imposing

site within the district, the coliseum holds pride
of place as the first domed structure of its kind
in the world. The complex also boasts an equestrian center and exhibit halls, home to the
annual Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.
Showplaces of Heritage and
Artistry and Nature
Shoppers can find a broad selection of
merchandise in the Cultural District’s specialty
shops. European antiques and upholstery can
be found at Domain XCIV and the dh collection boasts progressive furniture designs in
an appetite-whetting environment.
Southward off University Drive, visitors
can experience the glories of nature at Trinity
Park, a pristine oasis bordered by a fork of the
placid Trinity River. Here, picnickers, joggers,
and strollers can explore meandering pathways
or travel on a miniature railroad. Opposite the
park, across University Drive, Fort Worth’s
Botanic Garden beckons — the oldest such
site in Texas, a lush 109-acre tapestry of dappled shade accented by vibrant splashes of color.
The Garden is home to thousands of species of
native and exotic plants in 21 specialty gardens.
The European-designed Rose Garden features more than 3,400 roses, and the
10,000-square-foot Conservatory houses tropical flowers and foliage from around the world.
An on-site Gardens Restaurant serves light
lunches and refreshments — with a view of the
Garden and a varied gallery that often displays
the work of local artists.
A short distance southward lies the illustrious Fort Worth Zoo, nationally ranked among
the finest. The Zoo is home to thousands of
animals, both native and exotic. Viewing facilities and natural habitat exhibits are set up for
optimal views of the animals, often separated
from their observers by only a river, a waterfall,
or a large window. Shaded rest spots and picnic
tables are available, with several on-site eateries.
Across from the Zoo, Log Cabin Village
offers another view of the city’s rich frontier
history boasting seven authentic log homes,
dating from the mid-to-late 1800s. Perioddressed interpreters greet visitors inside
each cabin offering a living history of the
home and its origin.
The mood to explore might be triggered by
art, dining, shopping, or the wonders of
nature. Fort Worth’s west side meets all these
interests and then some!

From the
Glen Rose CVB
Rumble on the Paluxy
Motorcycle Rally coming
to Glen Rose Veterans
Day Weekend
By Tara Janszen, Events Coordinator, Glen Rose
Convention & Visitors Bureau
The City of Glen Rose and the In Country
Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club are
busy preparing for Rumble of the Paluxy
Motorcycle Rally scheduled for Friday,
November 9 thru Sunday, November 11.
The objective of the rally is to have a fun,
family-friendly event to raise money for
veterans in need.
Over the last couple of years Glen Rose
has become a destination for bikers with its
beautiful hill country back roads and several
biker friendly restaurants. The hope for the
Veterans Day weekend Motorcycle Rally is
to expose even more bikers to Glen Rose and
everything it has to offer.
Most of the action for Rumble on the
Paluxy will be on the Historic Courthouse
Square but other venues around town are
involved as well. One of the exciting events
going on during Rumble on the Paluxy is
a Confederate Railroad concert at the
Texas Amphitheatre Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
Confederate Railroad is known for their
high-energy combination of honky-tonk
rockers, sensitive ballads, and offbeat humor.
Every biker that registers for the rally has
free access to the concert and it is also open
to the public for $15 per person. Tickets can
be purchased at the door the evening of
the event.
The In Country Vietnam Motorcycle
Club is a wholly benevolent not-for-profit
federally tax-exempt war veterans motorcycle
club. Their motto is “Vets Helping Vets” and
their purpose is to provide moral, mental,
and physical support to their brothers and
sisters as well as other veterans, their families,
widows, and children.
A portion of the proceeds for this event
will be donated to the Texas chapter of In
Country Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club
to help veterans in Texas. For more information on how you can get involved with Rumble
on the Paluxy or to register for the rally, visit
www.GlenRoseEvents.com.
