Titanic Collections Volume 2: Fragments of History: The People

£40.00

A beautifully designed book showcasing important collections of Titanic-related memorabilia

This is the second in a two-part series showcasing rare and important artefacts relating to the history of RMS Titanic.

Description

Many collectors prefer to hide their treasures away, but the items presented in these beautiful books have been gathered by six well-known and respected researchers, authors, historians and collectors whose mission statement is to share their acquisitions with the world: George Behe; Mike Beatty; John Lamoreau; Don Lynch; Trevor Powell; and Kalman Tanito.

This book focuses on the people connected with Titanic, whether passengers or crew, including letters, postcards and marconigrams, or objects ranging from a pocket watch to binoculars or a monogrammed brush, aiming to illustrate the broader lives of these individuals and their families rather than re-telling the well-known story of the voyage and sinking.

These authors seek to share the rare Titanic artefacts in their collections with like-minded researchers who otherwise might never have been aware that these items existed.

I had the chance to flip through it at the recent exhibition in Melbourne, Australia. I enjoyed seeing quite a few items I had not seen before. I would kill for one of those matron's WSL belt buckles- that was one item I'd never seen before.

For seasoned 'Titanic people', a lot of it is probably nothing new, but I do appreciate those who contributed items and information sharing them with the wider community, instead of keeping these objects locked away in private collections, never to be seen again. I'd like to get this book, when funds allow.
