Artifacts from the Titanic
There have been many artifacts found in the
wreckage of the Titanic as well as artifacts taken off the ship by survivors which have surfaced in recent years. On
the following slides are a few examples of both kinds.
Newspaper Ad for Sailing on Titanic
Titanic Boarding Pass
Meanwell Inspection Card. Marion Meanwell booked passage on Titanic’s maiden voyage when a coal strike
delayed her scheduled trip on the Majestic. Her inspection card shows Majestic crossed out and
replaced with the name of the doomed Titanic. Marion Meanwell did not survive.
1st Class China 3rd Class Pottery
Sugar Spoon
Titanic Glassware
High End Titanic Men’s Toiletries
Titanic Beacon Light
This brass running light was
originally mounted high on
the Titanic's foremast to warn
ships of her presence.
Titanic Binoculars
Perhaps if the lookouts had these, the Titanic might have missed the
iceberg. They were missing their
binoculars that night. Another example of
“IRONY”.
This frame was once mounted in the windows of the Titanic's Veranda Cafes.
These brass letters spell "C dec" and were originally
located in the first class grand staircase to direct passengers to the C level. The
"k" was never recovered. This
artifact has never been on public
display.
Gimbal Lamp
Part of Gold Chandelier
Different stories exist explaining why Howard Irwin, a man traveling to New York with a friend, did not board
Titanic on the morning of April 10, 1912. What is known is that Irwin’s friend did board the ship, bringing Irwin’s
trunk along expecting to meet him later. Irwin’s trunk was recovered from the sunken Titanic. His friend did not
survive.
Titanic Deck Chair
Gold Mesh Purse.
Man’s Pocket Watch
Logometer used to measure Titanic speed.
Recovered in 1987, this 15 karat rose gold and silver bracelet says the name Amy in diamonds.
There were at least two women named Amy among the 2,228 people on board, although one
was a member of the crew. It could have also belonged to an Amanda or Amelia on board.
This ring was recovered from inside a leather bag, likely belonging to one of the women in
first class. The three diamonds are cut in the old European style and set in platinum. It weighs 2.4
grams and is hand crafted.
Money found in Titanic wreckage.
Notice the $5.00 bill is slightly
larger than today’s bills.
Passenger William Henry Allen's wool
black vest.
Men’s Shoes recovered from
wreckage of Titanic, probably slippers.
2nd Class Baggage Tag and Eyeglasses
Adolphe Saalfeld was a perfume maker from Manchester,
England. At the age of 47, he boarded Titanic as a first-class
passenger. He carried with him a leather satchel filled with
perfume samples. At the time Titanic sailed, the American
perfume market was booming. He may have planned to sell his perfumes to fashion boutiques and department stores in New York and other major cities.
Adolphe Saalfeld survived the sinking but left his samples behind. Of the 65 vials that
Saalfeld packed in his luggage, 62 have been recovered. These
perfume vials have never been on public display.
Telegraphs, like these recovered in 1987, were used to relay commands
to the engine room, including the order to
turn away from an iceberg in the North
Atlantic Ocean.

by other survivors.

Storerooms on Titanic were lit up through the use of small
prism skylights
mounted in the deck.
This baker's hat belonged to
William Hine, a third baker on the Titanic. His name is embroidered on
the brim.
This brown bowler hat with a grosgrain ribbon was recovered from the wreck site in 1993. This
type of hard felt hat was standard day attire among men at the time.
The bronze cherub is believed to have decorated the upper landing of the
grand staircase in first class because it is smaller than the cherubs on the
main staircase landings. It was recovered in 1987 and is missing its
left foot. The loss likely occurred when the cherub was ripped from its post, according to RMS Titanic, Inc.
