Between 1987 and 2004, seven additional expeditions have retrieved 5,500 artifacts and are rotating them at exhibitions around the world.
Of the thousands of artifacts, 127 are on exhibit at the Rialto Theatre through Feb. 20. Visitors can see some of the ship's china, silverware, glassware and other items.
Included are papers that survived in leather folios and vials of perfume being transported to buyers at Macy's for a hopeful sales contract.
Exhibits are rotated to protect the items, and microclimates are used in exhibit cases.
