Titanic Beacon Light This brass running light was originally mounted high on the Titanic's foremast to warn ships of her presence.
Titanic BinocularsPerhaps 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.
