A suburban Chicago museum dedicated to the story of the Sinking of the Titanic marked the tragedy’s 2026 anniversary in an unsettling way: its Titanic exhibit flooded—again.
Officials at the Volo Museum said the incident occurred Tuesday night, April 14, 2026, exactly 114 years after the ocean liner struck an iceberg and began sinking in the North Atlantic. The exhibit, located about 50 miles northwest of Chicago, took on water following a round of severe thunderstorms that swept across the region.
