The story of the worldʼs most famous liner, told through a fascinating
selection of important objects
Showcasing a mixture of original artefacts, authentic reproductions, and
items from Titanic's sister ship Olympic, Titanic authorities Bruce
Beveridge and Steve Hall have worked closely with White Star Memories to
skillfully retell the story of Titanic in 50 objects. Poignant
original artefacts include letters mailed from the ship; the butcher's
gold pocket watch; violinist Wallace Hartley's sheet music, recovered
with his body; carpenters' tools used during construction; Turkish Bath
wall tiles; and even a piece of coal from the wreck site.
Reproductions and treasures from Olympic include a full-scale Grand
Staircase 'Honour & Glory' clock; a Bronze Grand Staircase cherub;
dining chairs; tables; washstands; light fixtures; wood fittings;
bedspreads; uniforms; and much more besides. Also with fascinating text
alongside carefully chosen archive images, this beautiful book brings
the story of Titanic vividly to life.
