Log Cabin - Current Exhibit
It is May, 1912 in the Log Cabin Museum and the manniquin family, the Orchards are busy and excited. The Titanic, which sank on the night of April 14, 1912, remains a topic of conversation in Port Orchard. Happily, in spite of the more than 1500 deaths, there were two survivors of the Titanic disaster that originally escaped the eye of the press now back in Port Orchard. The Orchard family is caught up in a maelstrom of publicity.

Marsha Watson, local femme fatale rests upstairs, still suffering from the vapors and has asked that the offending Grumble brother (her former traveling companion) not be allowed beyond the first landing of the stairwell. She has only hinted to her friends at the cause of the rift between them and the ladies of the community wait anxiously at her bedside hoping for a tidbit or two that might explain their adventurous friend's barely contained outrage. |
The brunt of her anger sits in the kitchen with a rather dazed look on his face and so far has spoken only in monosyllables except to tell Louis that both the trip and the sinking were disasters of equal proportions. When told by Lewis that Mrs. Watson has forbade him to approach her he simply reached for another glass of refreshment and continued on his apparent quest to erase all memory of the trip.
