•   a salvaged porthole from R.M.S. Carpathia, the ship that came to the rescue of the Titanic lifeboat survivors, and was later torpedoed in the First World War;

•   a continuous certificate of discharge for surviving Fireman William Lindsey listing the Titanic as his 7th voyage;

•   New York news bureau ticker tape roll from roughly three days after the sinking describing the disaster;
