The TitanicItems Collection is an amazing online museum that can offer more information about this item. Don't be fooled by fake items and deals to good to be true. Fact is there are very few sellers that offer real Titanic wood and even fewer with a solid reputation like mine. Much of the wreck wood sold on by others came from my collection.
About the Wood: Immediately following the Titanic disaster, the Cable Ship Minia was dispatched from Canada to recover the dead. On board was carpenter, William J. Parker. While looking for bodies, he also grabbed some of Titanic's valued wreck wood from the sea and made various items for family, friends, and Minia Chief Officer James Adams.
The thin slice of wood contained in this display is authentic Titanic yellow pine wood. This indicates it was more than likely part of the deck. It was once part a shelf in a liquor cabinet made entirely of Titanic wreck wood originally belonging to Chief Officer Adams. It eventually passed down to his grandson and stayed in the family until 1998. The yellow pine shelf was later removed and offered for individual sale.
The coin is an authentic U.S. 1912 Liberty Head V nickel with a legible date. This is the same year of the Titanic tragedy and serves as both a memorial and a coin of distinction.
The example above is a thin slice about 22mm x 7mm. Actual piece shown will not be the exact one received but will be as described. Sizes vary as does shape and shades (some larger or thicker than shown). Some may even have more than one piece of wood. The heavy & strong snap holder is 3.25" x 2.25" and labeled for identification.
Provenance includes an attractive signed certificate of authenticity and several support documents from a 20+ year collector with worldwide hobby recognition. May shift a little during shipping; unsnap, readjust, and snap back.
