A New York City exhibition on the Titanic will feature artifacts and also will examine the doomed ocean liner's place in popular culture.

It opens at the South Street Seaport Museum on Tuesday.

It is being presented at the museum's Melville Gallery in Lower Manhattan. That's across the street from the Titanic Memorial Lighthouse, which was dedicated in 1913.

Exhibition highlights include the original 1911 deck plan of the ship's first class accommodations.

The continued fascination with the disaster will be illustrated through interactive features.
