James Cameron’s Titanic told the invented story of the Heart of the Ocean; a fictional blue diamond necklace lost tragically in the ship’s famous sinking. But what about the real treasures that were lost when the Titanic sank? For over a century the world has been intrigued by the story of the Titanic. When tragedy struck on April 14, 1912, in addition to the incredible loss of life, a nearly incalculable amount of goods plummeted into the ocean, never to be seen again. This lecture, given by Mallory Mortillaro (art historian and lecturer), takes a closer look and tells the stories of some of the more interesting and valuable treasures lost on that fateful night. 
Note: The Zoom link will be sent with your reminder E-mail. You can also view this program on-screen at the library.
