If you never had the chance to dive the largest shipwreck in the region, the Grenada National Museum is now giving you the opportunity to relive the story of the Bianca C, otherwise known as the Titanic of the Caribbean.
You will be taken on a journey from the luxury liner’s inception to its demise. The most captivating features include actual effects taken from the ship such as teapots, first aid kits, faucets, menus and more. The audio visual aspect is also a sight to behold. It illustrates the burning of the ship, its mazelike passages and so much more. It also features divers who explored the ship, returning only to whisper words such as ‘Wow, Awesome and Amazing!’
Now what once held four bars, a children’s playroom, gift shop, library and two outdoor swimming pools with sparkling tiles lies at the bottom of the ocean filled with mystery and intrigue. With explosions never explained, the mystery of the Bianca C remains a constant fascination at the bottom of the ocean.
Feel free to witness it yourself at the Grenada National Museum, located at the corner of Monckton Street and Young Street in St. George's. Adults pay an entrance fee of US$2.50 or EC$5 and children under 13 pay US$1 or EC$2.50. Opening hours are on Monday to Friday from 9am to 4:30pm and on Saturdays from 10am to 1pm.

I would love to look at it. The cinnamon rolls I’m talking about were very bready but not so mcuh that the fact that it’s a roll was lost. It was sweet but not over powering. And the glaze was lite. If you like you can send that to my email. Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Kitchen cabinets
