I've gotten into the habit where I'll search Titanic on eBay and look at things that have recently been added. A few weeks ago, I happened upon some very interesting pictures and I was able to obtain one.
This listing shows the pictures that he sold, and just last night, I was looking at the December 1985 National Geographic magazine with my mother and I discovered that the picture I bought was in that issue!

The pictures listed are very awesome, since quite a few others were also in that issue (including the cover picture!), all from that first expedition. When I saw my picture in the magazine, which I had forgotten just where I had originally seen that familiar photo, I was so surprised at my find!
What I am most curious about, and why I write this post, is if anyone could help identify the large, thin piece of metal in my photograph. Here is a closer up picture:

Thank you in advanced, and I feel special for finally having a little something to contribute to this amazing message board.
