Description

Documented piece of Molly Brown’s lifeboat

Only seven years old at the time he boarded the Titanic (1904-1991), he survived along with his mother and sister. A limited edition 1″ long wooden sliver remnant from Titanic lifeboat #6, affixed to a 5 x 3 off-white card, 4/25, signed at bottom by Titanic survivor George Thomas and oceanographer Robert Ballard. In fine condition. Launched from the port side at approximately 1:10 AM, this lifeboat carried just 28 passengers, although there was room for 65, with Molly Brown and Arthur Peuchen among those on board. An uncommon physical relic from one of the best-documented lifeboats. Ex. Brian Green Collection. RR Auction COA.
