Upon arrival, you will find yourself at the heart of a bustling Southampton dock, with the majestic Titanic towering before you. Immerse yourself in the historic atmosphere, as the scene is recreated exactly as it was in 1912.

To board the ship, there are two available routes, but we recommend taking the wooden stairs along the side of the Dockyard Building. This will lead you to a connecting bridge to the Titanic, replicating the exact historic boarding experience. As you cross the bridge, you will meet "Officer George Kennedy," a smart NPC powered by Chat GPT-4 dialogue technology. He acts as a verification bot to grant access to AVAC NFT holders aboard the ship.

Approach Officer Kennedy and initiate a conversation by asking how to board the ship. He will guide you through the verification process, which requires you to copy and paste your MetaMask wallet address into the local chat. To ensure a smooth experience, follow his instructions carefully.
