The sinking of the Titanic remains one of the great tragedies of modern times. Several items from the Titanic were recovered floating at the site, by rescue ships dispatched to the area in search of survivors, including these pieces of pine wreckwood believed to be from the deck.
Black Sox Bats
The legend exists that Joe Jackson once played without shoes, thus earning the nickname “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, but he never was without one of his potent bats, some of which earned the name “Black Betsy.”
