Completed around 2016, this memorial to the Titanic is easily spotted from the road, but please don't climb on it. The house previously belonged to a survivor of the Titanic who relocated in the Midwest, almost as far from an ocean on either side as you're going to get, but still near Lake Superior. If you're already coming by to see the other attractions of Proctor, this one is definitely worth your time. A nice and well-researched sign gives a little history for everyone.
