Titanic’s Last Hero
Many people know the tragic story of the Titanic but have never heard the incredible story of Titanic’s last hero. Our newest display features a handmade, sixteen-foot replica of the ship and highlights Rev. John Harper, who spent his last moments pleading with those around him to “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.” To learn more about his story, order a copy of the 100th anniversary edition of The Sinking of The Titanic and Great Sea Disasters.
