Many things were salvaged from Titanic. The travelling Titanic Exhibition, which has now subdivided into several parts, travels from city-to-city to display salvaged items.
For example, between the recent New Jersey one and the one in New York City from 2009, some items include: The forward masthead light (brass lantern over the crow's nest), a set of whistles (three organ pipes), chinaware, the base for the staircase cherub, a telegraph, a faded page 1 of the New York Times announcement of the sinking,rivets, bollards, a telephone, a leather bag, a third-class baggage claim ticket, a powder jar, a handkerchief, a leather compact, a mini teacup-and-pot, a gilt metal garland from the first-class staircase, a chandelier prism, a third-class bowl-cup-and-saucer, a decanter (for water), a crystal flower vase, a first-class tea saucer-serving spoon-and bread dish, a spoon that was one of 43 found in a sink, a second-class dinner plate with blue delft, china pattern tiles, jewelry, a cigar holder, a spectacle case, a shoe brush, a top hat, coins, coal, a man's shoe, part of a telemotor, bottles, soup spoons 'in concretion', a chandelier, a shirt-suspenders-socks-slippers-and-tie set, and many other things.
