A near-priceless book that was onboard the Titanic when it sank in 1912. It was a copy of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam which had a leather-bound cover which had an image of a peacock on the front made out of rubies and emeralds. The book must still be down there...or at least the rubies and emeralds.

I'm not sure but your right clinton, ppl are to greedy these days and the thought of putting it on display would not have intrigued them to do so

That is an excellent question edward9139. No one has any record of who actually had the book at the time of the sinking. It is presumed that the book must still be in the purser's office on C-Deck. But we will never know. Then again: never say never...

Wouldn't it be the ultimate discovery if they did find the location of the book's jewels? The great question remains though. Should they leave it there or return it to the survace? I think it should stay there. At least the book is one thing the Titanic is not yet ready to part with...good for her. Titanic rules!

I'd say maybe look at it first, examine it i mean, but not keep it, then when we are finished with it we can carefully place it back down there again.
