The map of the Atlantic is surrounded by several panels providing further information: Icebergs, Shipping News, Women and Children First, In Memoriam, and The Wreck Discovered – illustrated with a more detailed map of the area and colour photos. Also included is a graph showing iceberg frequency, a table with a breakdown of losses among passengers and the crew of the ship, time chart from commissioning the design of the Titanic to the death of the last survivor in 2009, etc.On the reverse, are detailed drawings of the ship’s decks and the ships’ profile, information about selected victims and survivors, comparisons of its size with other famous ships and buildings, a list of films, plays and
documentaries inspired by the disaster, etc.This map is also available on paper without the encapsulation and in a folded format.LAMINATED and ENCAPSULATED WALL MAPS:- LAMINATED wall maps have a thin layer of plastic usually applied to the printed side only. They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- ENCAPSULATED wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid and heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof and do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- PLEASE NOTE: many publishers and retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles and
descriptions follow the definitions provided above.
