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.

One thing is missing . The sarcophagus(mummy board) of the main priestess of Amen-Ra from the British Museum. It was on the ship .
Since than a copy is being masqueraded around the word .
The captains dog died aboard Titanic as well as other passengers dogs.
The idea that a man was saved after spending an hour in the frigid water is absurd. He’d have
not lasted more than twenty minutes in that water.

The article was interesting and adds to the tragedy of lives lost and the treasures of those lost lives. But, the editing was atrocities! Numerous misspellings and gramatical errors.
I have not seen it mentioned that to me the most precious items that died were the dogs cats etc the passengers had with them.
Does anyone proof-read and spell check these articles before they are posted? It’s not that hard to do.
Sorry 😞 this article, in my never to be humble, opinion was a waste of time.
Hey Anna, your glaring ignorance shows, “Harbeck managed to get lots of videos of Alaska”. Video wasn’t invented yet, not for about 50 years later. What a dope.
My mother was very young at the time, but she and my grandparents were supposed to take the return visit back to England on the Titanic. It never arrived for them to do that. I wish I had the tickets today, but my grandfather got his money back instead.
Very interesting. For those who died as well as their belongings, you still cannot take it with you.
Your site is Bullshit ! Can’t read a story because of all the Ads you slobber all over the place.
