F
ollowing the Titanic disaster, the Carpathia arrived at the wrecksite to pick up survivors. See newspaper headlines. The Cable Ship Minia was also dispatched from Canada. On board was carpenter, William J. Parker who grabbed some of Titanic's valued wreck wood from the sea and made various items for family, friends, and Minia Chief Officer James Adams.
The thin slice of wood contained in this display is authentic Titanic yellow pine wood. This indicates it was more than likely part of the deck. It was once part a shelf in a liquor cabinet made entirely of Titanic wreck wood originally belonging to Chief Officer Adams. It eventually passed down to his grandson and stayed in the family until 1998. The yellow pine shelf was later removed and offered for individual sale. It has been on display at both the Ronald Reagan National Library and the National Geographic Titanic Exhibits.
The coin is an authentic U.S. 1912 Liberty Head V nickel with a readable1912 date. This is the same year of the Titanic tragedy and serves as a memorial. It has been slabbed authentic by PNCS without carrying a grade..
The example above is a thin slice about 22mm x 7mm.
