DESCRIPTION:
Few will want to resist a closer look at the utterly compelling items in The Titanic Collection.. Drawn from the archives of the Titanic Historical Society, The Titanic Collection uses real documents authentically reproduced to paint a riveting portrait of life on board. The Titanic Collection also includes a fact-filled booklet and timeline. Reminiscent of a turn-of-the-century steamer trunk, this deluxe box contains more than 18 items, including the boarding pass of a man who miss
Inside, there is a trove of reproductions of memorabilia from the Titanic Historical Society to wow anybody fascinated by the shipwreck: a first-class ticket; a "radiotelegramm" from the ship Amerika four hours before the disaster warning of icebergs; the fancy brochure passengers got; the orchestra's repertoire (including "Songe d'Automne," the last tune played); maps of each deck; menus (including that of the last night's fare--not very health-conscious food, actually); adhesive luggage stickers you can apply to your suitcase; reproductions of Titanic postcards--some with greetings that were delivered, some blank and suitable for mailing; a booklet of notes on all the luxuries available to first-class passengers; and a list of all fir
Eric Sauder has been interested in ocean liners for over three decades and his first job was as a tour guide on board the RMS Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. Because of his knowledge of passenger ships of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Eric was asked to act as historian for his explorations of the remains of the Cunard liner Lusitania
Nalla6"A must-have for all Titanic lovers" according to Nalla62. I hadn't even finished looking through this wonderful collection before having to quickly sign on and place my review here! What a surprising, impressive, and very authenticated collection. The box itself is a replica of a small steamer trunk. Inside, the treasures are truly wonderous! There is nothing cheap here. The postcards, the booklets, the ship's plans--some of the postcards have original writings and postmarks on them. Notice the water spots on some, indelibly marked and haunting to look at. The materials used to create these momentos are thick and sturdy cardboard-like; nothing flimsy in this little trunk.. said A must-have for all Titanic lovers.

This is not actually a book, but rather a collection of 21 reproductions of actual White Star Line and Titanic memontos. It includes such items as reproductions of a boarding pass, ship brochures, a dinner menu, deck plans, postcards, menus, luggage stickers, ice-berg warning telegrams, and landing card (from the Carpathia, marked "Carpathia ex. Titanic") and several other items. It includes a small book that gives history and explanations of each piece. These are direct reproductions of pieces from the Titanic Historical Society archives and are extremely well done. This is well worth the price for Titanic history. "First class reproductions for the Titanic buff" according to Thomas Smith (Skip0007@Aol.com). For those who enjoy reading and collecting White Star Line and Titanic pieces, this is a must. Featured are many perfect reproductions of Titanic and Olympic postcards which sell for over a hundred dollars apiece if they were original.Many things included in this set would be impossible to own if they were true vintage pieces, so the next best thing are these beautiful reproduction postcards,passenger list, passenger sailing brochure,music booklet and so much more. Would make a wonderful gift for anyone interested in the Titanic.RECOMMENDED at this price!
