5. A 1912 Renault Type CB Coupé de Ville

You might be surprised to discover that the car in which Jack and Rose had their steamy moment was a real piece of cargo on the ship. That gorgeous 912 Renault Type CB Coupé de Ville was the only known vehicle brought on board.

William Carter was an automobile lover, the proud owner of those incredible Mercedes, who wanted to add the Coupé de Ville to his collection. He bought it from Europe while he was away with his family, their servants, and two dogs, and wanted to sail back to the US with the RMS Olympic, but their plans changed, and they went on the Titanic instead.

After he made sure that his wife and children were safely on a lifeboat, he and chairman J. Bruce Ismay, along with several officers, walked up and down the deck, desperately asking if there were any women and children left. They waited for a couple of minutes, and since no one answered, they embarked on Lifeboat C.

Fortunately, Carved survived the accident, but since his beloved car became one of the things that died along with the Titanic, he filed a $5000 claim for it.
