Today’s featured event:
See artifacts salvaged from the sea and the tools and technologies used by deep-ocean archeologists in the traveling exhibition “Shipwreck! Pirates & Treasure,” which recently opened at Science Museum Oklahoma, 2100 NE 52.
Authentic artifacts from many different shipwrecks are displayed in the exhibit, but the spotlight is on the treasures and artifacts of the SS Republic, which represented the greatest shipwreck treasure of the Civil War era. The Republic sank in 1865 while transporting a fortune in gold and silver and much needed supplies to rebuild the war-ravaged South.
The museum’s hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays, but it is open seven days a week if you can’t make it today.
