Recovered From The Surface

As bodies were recovered, so were the items below:

Many lifejackets were found and were the only reasons most bodies were floating.

This deck chair was recovered by the Minia and is one of very few which did not sink. Today, the most common deck chairs from the TITANIC are from the movie going for big bucks $$.



This checker table was made by William Parker the carpenter of the Minia. While searching for bodies, the crew found pieces of the deck so Parker made the table out of the wood so that the crew could have something to do while not on duty. It is now with a traveling exhibit.
