Poignant original artefacts include letters mailed from the ship; the butcher's gold pocket watch; violinist Wallace Hartley's sheet music, recovered with his body; carpenters' tools used during construction; Turkish Bath wall tiles; and even a piece of coal from the wreck site. Reproductions and treasures from Olympic include a full-scale Grand Staircase 'Honour & Glory' clock; a Bronze Grand Staircase cherub; dining chairs; tables; washstands; light fixtures; wood fittings; bedspreads; uniforms; and much more besides. Also with fascinating text alongside carefully chosen archive images, this beautiful book brings the story of Titanic vividly to life.
