Best Answer

When the ship sank in 1912, Halifax played a key role in the rescue and recovery effort. For many passengers, the city became their final resting place. The [Maritime] museum [of the Atlantic] offers photographs and rare artifacts recovered from the ship, including the only known existing deck chair.
