10 Artifacts Found In The Titanic

The recovery of artifacts from the ship has brought in more evidence of what happened to the Titanic and provided new insights into this tragedy and the stories of those who were on board. Although the Titanic was only located at the bottom of the ocean 75 years after it sank, many personal and structural items were still salvaged.

However, many items did not become publicized since some families and others considered it to be disrespectful and akin to grave-digging, as the Titanic can be seen as a grave for all its victims. Nevertheless, many of these items are currently in museums all over the world, or they belong to owners who have paid high amounts of money to possess these precious memories.
