Message: [QUOTE="Randy Bryan Bigham, post: 182662, member: 143664"] To add to the list, THS has in its collection some clothing and other personal items worn or carried by Selena Rogers when she escaped Titanic. These include a green scarf and black dotted hat veil, two handkerchiefs, a tortoise-shell barette and hair comb, and a leather coin purse. THS has as well a copper bangle bracelet worn off the ship by Lillian Bentham. Photos of these items were featured in the THS journal, Spring 1991, pp 23-24. Also the woolen coat worn by Marion Wright when she got off the ship has been preserved by her family. It is featured in a recent photo on p. 99 of the book "Titanic: Women and Children First" by Judith Geller and again, worn by Marion Wright on her wedding day (April 20, 1912), on p. 102 of the same book.
