Impressive display featuring a large piece of coal recovered from the wreck of the Titanic as the centerpiece, a limited edition photo of the last image of the Titanic ever taken, numbered 393/500, signed in black felt tip by Millvina Dean, and a TLS signed “Eleanor Johnson Shuman, Titanic Survivor, April 14–15, 1912.” In part: “Bruce Ismay was on board and also survived the sinking…I can not tell you why for such a huge ship there were not enough lifeboats on board. The fact is that the Titanic had some 2200 persons aboard, but lifeboat accommodation for only 1170…Almost all first class women and children got on a lifeboat, while less than one third of third class women and children survived, I was one of them. For the men it was much worst [sic], no matter what class tickets they had, most died.” Nicely matted and framed with two images, a certificate of authenticity from RMS Titanic, Inc. for the coal, and two descriptive plaques to an overall size of 31 x 27.5. In fine condition. Oversized. RR Auction COA.
