[John Swenson]

since i started this thread i have been spending some time learning more facts about the titanic etc. i'm not as knowledgable as many of you , but am learning a few things . i just looked at one of the photos of me standing in front of the hull pieces with the portholes and it's the one they call the ''big piece '' . i saw the pictures online a few places and it looks exactly the same .apparently it's on display in las vegas ,nev u.s.a. in that picture it's very shiny ..hence the restoration . just sharing , thanks john

I thought the only thing a private citizen could legally own from the Titanic was a piece of coal.

You're correct, Gordon. Coal is the only artifact RMS Titanic Inc., has made available to the public to own.

I actually stand corrected. RMS Titanic Inc sold a limited number of pens with a minuscule piece of iron from the "Big Piece" in each pen. So there would be that iron and the coal that are legal to own.
