In "A Night to Remember", Lord mentions Thomas Andrews staring into that painting during Titanic's last minutes (at about 2:10 a.m.) and refers to it as "The Approach of the New World." That title is both poetic and fitting as the painting was likely the last thing Andrews saw before he died.
Wow. I am a nerd. In response to the question, I would be tempted to take the ship's log book, as reading it might be able to answer some questions. I would also want the clock and the cherub from the Grand Staircase, because they are both beautiful reminders of a lost ship and a lost era. |

some of her furniture, so people could see just how grand this ship was. Or the painting in the smoking room, arrival at Plymouth, just because that was where thomas andrews was last seen, looking at the painting in a daze. or the bodys that sank with her, so they could be buried at land by family.

Ok...now everyone think hard. It is 1912 and the Titanic has sunk...but we have the modern equipment to dive down and recover items from the ship. If you were a diver at that time, and the Titanic just sank, so everything is in rather good condition...what Item would you recover and treasure for all time?
People not included...remember this is after the disaster. You have to state what item and why it would be so important to you. (ex. Captains wheel...that unknowingly steered its way into an iceberg..and why that would mean something to you) I'll go first: I would gather as many letters or photos as possible or telegrams etc...and see if they could be salvaged. It would give humanity to such an event. To find out and remember each soul. ok..your turn |
