Titanic of the North: The 1918 Wreck of the S.S. Princess Sophia chronicles the worst shipwreck ever in the Pacific Northwest through an interactive and informative display. Over 350 passengers lost their lives in the wintry waters off the Alaskan coast when, during a terrible storm, the SS Princess Sophia hit Vanderbilt Reef near Juneau and sank with all aboard. The vessel had been heading south to its home port in Victoria.
This traveling exhibit was made possible by donations from the Pioneers of Alaska-Juneau chapter and Friends of the Anchorage Public Library.
