From one of the largest private Titanic Collections in the world; the Nationally exhibited TitanicItems Collection.
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. There is a Certificate of Authenticity hand signed by 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 bodies. On board was ships carpenter, William Parker, who took Titanic wreckage from the sea and made them into everyday useful items for family and friends. He made a liquor cabinet for his Chief entirely out of Titanic floating wreck wood (flotsam).
Inside the cabinet there was a pine shelf, identified as part of Titanic's wreck wood deck. It was removed and offered for individual sale last 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; this had never been done before. This card is just such an example.
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.
More Stuff:
The wreck wood used in the photograph will not be the exact one shipped, actual piece may slightly vary in size, shape and possibly in color-shade. This is disabled veteran handmade, the wood has been carefully glued to the card front, so slight residue and imperfections can be expected.
To support the arts, the picture on front was sought after and licensed from the talented French artist Eliott Sontot, please check out his Titanic and other works of art.

Free US shipping will be standard USPS first-class in a protective letter envelope. Each will come in a semi-rigid sports card type top-loader. Stand not included. Handling time is typically one day. If not satisfied you may return it (in its original state) at your expense pursuant to rules.
