This year, give the nice, not
the naughty, coal in their stocking. This April marks 100 years since the
sinking of the Titanic, what better way to honor her legacy then with a
historic gift from Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition. Perfect for those
captivated by the infamous story, the Authentic Coal Keepsakes and Filigree
Necklace are ideal for any history enthusiasts.
Authentic Coal Keepsakes
If looking for a true
collector’s item, the authentic coal brought up from the actual wreck, is the
perfect choice and starts at just $19.99. These small yet precious pieces were
part of the 5,892 tons of coal loaded onboard Titanic when it left England
almost a century ago and are the only artifacts salvaged from the Ship of
Dreams that can be sold to the public.
Did You Know?
One hundred fifty-nine
furnaces burned almost 700 tons of coal each day to drive the Ship’s three
massive propellers. This extraordinary fuel source made the Titanic capable of
23 knots, which was a slightly slower speed for ships of the time but the
engineering design provided Titanic with far more spacious, comfortable and
luxurious accommodations.
Filigree Necklace
If gems and diamonds are more
appealing, ladies can feel like one of Titanic’s first-class passengers who
brought their finest jewels to wear in the evening while at sea. Walk away from The Exhibition with a stunning
replica of the recovered 15 inch filigree necklace hand constructed of platinum
set with small diamonds. Once at the
bottom of the ocean, this striking necklace was brought up from the wreck and
is now on display at The Exhibition at Luxor
Did You Know?
Some checked their valuables
with Titanic’s Chief Purser, Herbert McElroy, for safekeeping during the
voyage. Other passengers carried their valuables in money belts or hid them in
old doctor’s bags and steamer trunks. One wealthy couple was rumored to have
traveled in Third Class so as to better hide the diamonds in their luggage.
From art and apparel to books
and collectibles, the perfect gift for every history buff is now available at
the Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition retail shop inside Luxor Hotel and Casino
or online at TheTitanicStore.com. Come
view the artifacts and take home a small keepsake for you or a friend this
holiday season.
