Don't know but, I bet if you tried really hard, you could find a dollar store that sells brand new ones in packs of 52.

Dude, no offence but its been almost a century. Ther bodies have all rotted away or eaten. And if the artifacts make ppl remember the titanic, and those who died, how is that wrong?

[jrssingsforyou]

Bring it back to NYC!! I would love to see it D:

@jerywilliams Agreed, all of this "Oh no, let's leave all of these precious beautiful pieces of architecture, woodwork and art to rot in the ocean" seems ludicrous.

Hey, at 49 seconds, there are the binoculars they didn't have in th crow's nest!

Its bullshit that people think that just because someone died in shipwreck that it is a grave and should'nt be disturbed. Those people did'nt want to die there. I think that preserving history is more important than worrying about disturbing the dead. Everyone wants to be remembered. Thats why people put up grave stones. By seeing these artifacts we are remembering what happened to those ships and their passengers good or bad. Its not a grave, its just where people met misfurtune.

@tallicAgrl9051 The artifacts are slowly being ate away. In a few decades Titanic will be completley gone. The way I see it these artifacts being taken and preserved means that the passengers and liner is forever remembered. There is nothing like a true memorial than being able to touch, feel, or see it. We can all "learn" about the Titanic but having been to the Artifact Exhibition myself you have never experienced or felt the tradegy and respect for the individuals lost until you've went.

I would love to see this exhibition...i live right by NYC!

but on the other hand, personally, i wouldn't take these artifacts away from Titanic and the remains of the passengers...they're a part of their home...though that's just me.
