Artifacts Salvaged from the Titanic
It is difficult to imagine the arduous voyage these artifacts have made.
They went down with the Titanic after it collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, over a 100 years ago .
They rested on the ocean floor, about 3.8 kilometers beneath the surface, in cold and darkness, for many decades until they were recovered by deep-sea divers after the wreck was found in 1985.
Painstaking efforts went into their conservation.
