This is fantastic! I myself have started a collection I have few pieces of silver from the White Star line as well as French Line. I’m glad there are people like you to share the history of this wonderful ship with the world!
Thank you so much for sharing your collection with us titanic people it’s a small but very special group of people i have a few artifacts from titanic a few coins with the coal from the sea bed and a few papers and coins and cups my grate grand dad was a 2nd class passenger from the titanic and the stuff was passed down to me.
Great collection. Wallace Hartley came from a small town called Colne which is in the county of Lancashire. There is a bust of him outside Colne municipal Hall and he is buried in the local cemetery, his funeral was attended by the whole town. Back in the 1970's i lived in a town 6 miles away called Barnoldswick or barlick to us locals, our neighbour who was an elderly lady at the time was related to Wallace and would tell us stories about him back then as a young lad i knew he was important as i knew about the titanic, but it's only later in life that i realised just how lucky i was to know and talk to a relative of his.
How can you have a piece of the grand staircase? I thought that had all rotted away by time the wreck was discovered in the 1980s? An interesting video - thanks.
New Subscriber. Wow oh wow! I am fortunate to have found you. My eyes were screened locked! I am fascinated by historical artifacts brought up from the bottom for historical preservation. Thank you for sharing your story and the wonderful presentation. I literally ate up the whole upload. Thank you for preserving history Tony. It has always wondered me if they ever brought up the headboards from the staterooms or the mantle clock? Did they ever get to the other safes located on the ship Titanic?
They are usually called "Bone Plates" They fit close the the main dish because of the shape so when you are eating fish or similar things you do not have far to go with the bones and things you do not want to eat. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.
I know you sort of explained what the first artefact was and how you got it, but after that first artefact from the Bounty, what got you started? Did you know from the beginning you'd go for Titanic or did you start small and go big? Do you have any recommendations for what you'd go for first? Asking for a friend here since I'm just starting on my collection; currently getting some small things from the MV Britannic and Georgic since they're the cheapest.
Wow, a few great questions that are difficult to answer. What got me started...To me it is like finding treasure which I guess it is, but not the typical Gold and Silver we think of as treasure. The real treasure are the personal items and the stories they tell or can no longer tell, stories lost that will never be told. I am always trying to find stories connected to the pieces I have. Sometimes I am able to find a wealth of information but most of the time I find a lot of dead ends.. My first Titanic item was a Christmas gift of a recovered Titanic deck chair. I sold it to a museum many years ago.
@@tonyprobst4266 As you said, a big part of it is the stories behind the objects. Since making the comment I've been slowly but surely advancing up in my collection to bigger things. Thanks for the advice!
@@tonyprobst4266 Nothing as major as any of yours of course, but I have a 1st gen photograph taken by Robert Welch of the H&W shipyards. As far as I know it's a one of its kind type, I've never found another anywhere.
@@amaritineenthusiast Very cool. I love old photos. Have you seen this video th-cam.com/video/7Pv0zJxVK88/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gxGmDogMnRsS4WY3 All the best in the New Year.
New Subscriber - I'm also a collector - your collection is amazing - I would be very interested in a video hearing what you think about what happened on The Titan and opinions on salvaging (or not) The Titanic.
What do you collect? As for the Titan, I told most of my friends that I believe it imploded on the way down because of the carbon fiber. In my opinion you just have to use logic that when you compress and expand a fibrous material, no matter how rigid it is, with the pressures at 2 1/2 tons per square inch it will fail just like bending metal back and forward until it breaks. It looks like this is the conclusion most are coming up with. We should know exactly what happen within a year. Whether or not to salvage things from the bottom is a tough one. There are extreme views on both sides. I am a historian and would like to preserve history as much as possible instead of it wasting away to nothing. Thank you for watching.
i‘m really jealous 😁 as someone obsessed with everything authentic from the titanic i would love to have at least a few things in my collection. is there any advice you can give to get authentic artifacts?
That is a difficult question. I wish I knew the answer. Authentic artifacts are difficult to find, the Titanic was only around for half a trip. Most of what you find on line is fake and if the price is low it is because I monitor what is out there and if there is something real it gets gobbled up pretty quick. The best if you would like something real is to save up and find it in reputable auction houses. Nothing good comes easy. My collection started in 1971, that's how long it takes to get a few pieces. If there is anything you would like advice on you can reach me at ssm723@aol.com Thanks for watching and best of luck.
I'm curious if you're a collector of Pitcairn Islands and/or Tahiti stamps. My obsession with the Bounty mutiny story led me to collect the stamps of the 2 countries.
I do have stamps, letters and envelopes from Pitcairn Island going back to 1850. The only stamps I have from Tahiti are ones on letters I sent to family while I lived in Tahiti so there are not a lot from there. I do have a large collection of artifacts from the Bounty as you can see in the video you are watching. If you would like to see the very first drone video made on Pitcairn Island that I filmed on my last trip there you can find it here. th-cam.com/video/_x2d_sJUAic/w-d-xo.html Thank you for watching.
If a person has an item inherited that was carved by William Parker, what is your advice to do with it if the family is liquidating some of their estate?
So I guess I'll mention that eggs were 39 cents in 1959. boy has time changed. Now there what? 20 bucks??? :) Also how in the hell do you find checks that old? that is amazing.
Checks were easier to find back in the 1900's because we got the originals back in the mail. I like collecting them because the odds of it being a ligament signature are very high.
I get a few comments like yours. Please tell me which items were taken from the dead??? I am really puzzled. Is it not good Karma in keeping someones name alive and not losing to history?
We've got some bad cds from Celine dion,who doesn't look even remotely human anymore .some bottles of wine that mysteriously have exploded under the crushing depths of the sea and a water logged copy of the senate vote on the federal reserve.
how did you get those pieces? who owns titanic nowadays?is the titanic scene consider as graveyard?i think its illegal to pick titanic pieces from the bottom
Wow! What a collection! Thank you so much for making this video and sharing it with the world. Fascinating

I live in San Rafael and had no idea 😱 I have to check out
If only there were a narrated version without the music!

If a person has an item inherited that was carved by William Parker, what is your advice to do with it if the family is liquidating some of their estate?
@@jeninegrasc8414 What is the item? Can you send me a picture at ssm723@aol.com
where is this collection located?
Most of it is usually touring through different museums including my store in California. Part of it maybe heading to Australia for a tour.
So I guess I'll mention that eggs were 39 cents in 1959. boy has time changed. Now there what? 20 bucks??? :)

What does Marilyn Monroe have to do with the titanic
Nothing, She had a lot to do with Catalina Island where the artifacts were shown.

That’s a lot of items to have been stolen from the dead. Not good karma.

@@tonyprobst4266I'm just as confused about their comment as you are 😂
He's not stolen anything from the dead, he's preserving theirs memories and the ship and everything about it.
@@colleenrivera4234 No, he’s robbing the grave of 1500 people.
@@backonpro5679 they removed all the bodies from the 9/11 site. What they could find. The titanic is a literal grave site.
