This is small piece of authentic Titanic Wreck Wood on a business card sized (3.5” x 2”) dramatic display entitled “Titanic Breaking in Half,” (fantasy art work from French artist Eliott Sontot). On back is the Certificate of Authenticity hand signed by Kevin Saucier, a respected 20yr collector and researcher that is well-known in the hobby.
About the Wood:
After the disaster in April 1912, the Cable Ship Minia was contracted by White Star Line to recover victims. On board was ships carpenter, William Parker, who took Titanic wreckage from the sea and fashion them into everyday useful items. He made a liquor cabinet for his Chief made entirely out of Titanic floating wreck wood. It stayed with the family until 1998 when it was sold to a Canadian Museum.
Inside the cabinet, a red-stained yellow pine plank believed to be part of Titanic's deck was removed and offered for individual sale earlier this century. Small pieces of this plank are sliced off to make it affordable so that most collectors and enthusiasts can have a piece of their very own.
The plank has been on public exhibit at the Ronald Reagan National Library in Simi Valley, CA and at the National Geographic Titanic Museum Exhibit in Washington DC.
