Neat! Amazing what they've recovered from over 2 miles down!
One of the items was a full suit of mans clothing. How THAT survived is anyone's guess! Lots of porcelain of course. Also, there was a leather tool bag in very good condition. Apparently some oils used on the bag helped to preserve it from the microbes.
When you entered the exhibit, they gave you a ticket that was an exact replica of on of the passenger's boarding passes. Each person was assigned the name of an actual passenger. Then, at the end of the exhibit, you could look up your "passenger name" on a list on the wall, and see if you were a victim or a survivor. I was "Colonel Archibald Gracie IV" 54 years old, traveling alone (first class) on his way back to NY from holiday abroad. He was on vacation following the publication of his book, "The Truth About Chickamauga," a recounting of one of the Civil War's bloodiest battles in which his father, a Confederate General, fought.
Colonel Gracie was one of the lucky survivors.
