In case you haven’t been paying attention, this year is the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the luxury liner Titanic, and commemorative events abound. ‘Stories of the Wilkes-Barre Passengers on the Titanic’ opens tonight at the Luzerne County Historical Society Museum with Titanic historian William V. Lewis on hand for a book signing from 5 to 8. On Sunday the Everhart Museum in Scranton will premiere ‘Titanic: Explore the Legend and 100 Years of History.’ And if you’re taking in any of Tunkhannock’s Dietrich Theater movie offerings, be sure to linger in the lobby, where the ‘Titanic Memorabilia Exhibit’ is on display through April.
