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.

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 Irwins friend did board the ship, bringing Irwins trunk along expecting to meet him later. Irwins trunk was recovered from the sunken Titanic. His friend did not survive.

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.

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.

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.
