Rarely seen Titanic artifacts, including an alligator-skin handbag and vials of still-fragrant perfume, have been quietly stored in a secret Atlanta warehouse.
RMS Titanic Inc., with exclusive salvage rights, has recovered 5,500 items from the wreck, including intact champagne bottles and ornate china, providing insights into passengers’ lives. See photos here.
One poignant artifact—a medical card—reveals that third-class passenger Marian Meanwell was initially booked on the Majestic but reassigned to the Titanic, where she became one of the 1,500 victims.
