About this Item

'A wonderful gallery of period items related to the Titanic and Olympic, presented and shared by some of the top researchers and collectors in the field.

She would never make it there. Instead she would strike an iceberg just days into her journey and sink to the depths of the North Atlantic Ocean, taking nearly 1,500 people with her. She would remain there undisturbed for seventy-three years.Titanic Collections: Fragments of History is a two-part series showcasing rare and important artefacts relating to the history of RMS Titanic.

About this title

Synopsis

A beautifully designed book showcasing important collections of Titanic-related memorabilia

This is the first in a two-part series showcasing rare and important artifacts relating to the history of RMS Titanic. Many collectors prefer to hide their treasures away, but the items presented in these beautiful books have been gathered by six well-known and respected researchers, authors, historians and collectors whose mission statement is to share their acquisitions with the world: George Behe; Mike Beatty; John Lamoreau; Don Lynch; Trevor Powell; and Kalman Tanito.

This first book in the series focusses in on artifacts relating to the ship, including fascinating postcards, books, photographs, and physical objects, ranging from light fixtures to chronometer rings and floor tiles. These items place the story of Titanic in a new light, focusing on the items of interest rather than the well-told story of the maiden voyage and sinking. There is much to delight the reader, as these authors seek to share the artifacts in their collections with like-minded researchers who otherwise might never have been aware that these items existed.
