“Secret Warehouse” of Titanic Artifacts Contains Perfume, Etched Glassware, and More

It’s no mystery where on the North Atlantic seafloor the RMS Titanic is located. What is a mystery to most is the location of a “secret warehouse” packed with thousands of priceless artifacts from the world’s most famous shipwreck.
​
Recently, the BBC was given a rare opportunity to tour the warehouse, with the outlet cryptically revealing that it’s “somewhere in Atlanta, Georgia.” Inside were etched glassware, tiny buttons, and vials of perfume you can still smell, as well as a handbag made from alligator skin and a bathtub. All provide a window into life on the ship and the untold stories of its ill-fated passengers.
​
“Titanic is something that we want to respect,” Tomasina Ray, the director of collections for the company that has recovered these items, told the outlet. “We want to make sure that we’re preserving the memory, because not everyone can go down to Titanic, and we want to be able to bring that to the public.” Scroll through a gallery of some of the artifacts.
