I'm always amazed how these things keep popping up after so long. Hartleys violin being one of the more remarkable finds after so long. Cheers.

There's more than a few in the Titanic community who are very sceptical about the supposed authenticity of that violin.

The same goes for the much sobbed over pair of baby shoes that were purported to have been found on the body of The Unknown Child/Sidney Goodwin. Highly unlikely to have been his.

Well it's not a bad thing to be skeptical about things. There are always scammers but I've haven't heard that about the violin before. I had thought the so called experts had confirmed it. But who knows. Cheers.

Not exactly. But that's a different topic for another thread. If you do a search for "Hartley's Violin", you'll come up with some results.
