James Cameron’s Titanic told the invented story of the Heart of the Ocean, a fictional blue diamond necklace that was tragically lost in the ship’s famous sinking. But what about the real treasures that were lost when the Titanic sank? For over a century, the world has been intrigued by the story of the Titanic. When tragedy struck on April 14, 1912, in addition to the incredible loss of life, a nearly incalculable amount of goods plummeted into the ocean, never to be seen again. This lecture takes a closer look at some of the more interesting and valuable treasures lost on that fateful night and tells their stories.
