I updated my page “Other Ocean Liner Items.”  Check out some of my items from other great Ocean Liners.

This is from The Illustrated London News (New York Edition) April 20th, 1912.

I’ve always loved the look of this ad, for some reason it just struck a chord with me.

When the SS Minia went out to recover bodies from the sinking of Titanic they also picked some wreckage, including deck chairs.

This piece came from a family in Halifax who owned two deck chairs recovered by the Minia.  One chair was damaged beyond repair and was pieced out.  This piece comes from the seat frame of that deck chair.

The cover from the Second Class Passenger List from Titanic.

Thank you Steve Santini for allowing me to own this rare  piece of history!

The awesome thing about this model is that it made to sink just like the Titanic did. You can even see where it breaks apart when it sinks. This has been and will be one of my favorite parts of my collection. Thanks Steve!

This red fabric was used on Titanic‘s second-class chairs.  It was taken before the ship set sail from a roll-end by Robert Browne, the paymaster from Harland and Wolff.  After Titanic sank Mr. Browne had the foresight to save this fabric as an important piece of history and as a remembrance of the tragedy. Acquired from the collection of Kevin Saucier – many thanks!  For anyone interested in owning their own piece of this fabric you can find it at Titanicitems.com

I have always, always wanted something about Titanic that met the following criteria: was a part of her and that helped to make her beautiful.  When talking about the Titanic I’ve found that’s a hard thing to find.  But this is it.

This box was created from the wreck wood found by the ship S.S. Minia.  William Parker, the ship’s carpenter, made this box.  It is currently on display in the Titanic Museum in Branson, MO.  A few months ago my wife and I visited the museum.  While on the tour I saw this box and told my wife that “I would give anything to have that.”  Little did I know that I would have the opportunity to get it.  This is a very personal and real accomplishment for me.  I’m very proud of this box.

I hope that one day I’ll be able to take this box on a transatlantic cruise my wife and I are planning on taking.  My small token to a the ship I love so much.  Hopefully it, at least a small part, will get to cross the Atlantic in one trip.

I’ve been to many Titanic exhibits and was just impressed by these wine bottles that were brought up from wrecksite.  It’s amazing that these bottles went through hell and survived, in some cases even with the wine still inside.

This type of tile was found throughout the ship anywhere where high traffic was expected. Green wasn’t the only color used, there are also brown, crimson and blue tiles.

You can’t buy tile like this from the Titanic, so this one comes from her sister ship, the Olympic. You can also see the damage to this tile from the renovations the Olympic went through when carpet was added to these high traffic areas. But it’s still beautiful to me and you can smell what the Olympic would have smelled like, which I love.

A picture of it all lit up. This is still one of my favorite pieces.

I got it from this guy. You should check it out.
