5. Elbo Bagpipes owned by 3rd class passenger Eugene Daly. he was standing by where the officer shot two men trying to board a lifeboat (before shooting himself) Daly jumped in the water and made it to a collapsible boat and was saved by the Carpathia. He kept his coat he was wearing for good luck. (Wonder if he bought some more bagpipes?)
4. Marmalade Machine for fruit preserves owned by Edwina Trout, 2nd Class. She claims to have heard the ship's band playing "Nearer My God to Thee." In Lifeboat #16. As she boarded, a man handed her his child and begged her to save its life. She did. She later filed a 8s 5d claim for the Marmalade Machine.
3. One case of film for the New York Motion Picture Company. They were, of course, silent films.
2. The perfume of 1st Class passenger Adolphe Saalfeld, a perfume maker. Sixty-five vials of different perfumes. In the smoking room and saw the iceberg when the ship hit it. In 2001 his satchel was brought up and some of the vials still had a smell. Survived in Lifeboat #3.
1. Manuscript of "Karain: A Memory" by Joseph Conrad which was in the mail room. This was a percussor of "Lord Jim." Conrad's third short story. (Hope he had the rough draft.)
