Woodturning - Titanic and HMS Victory Hull Pieces

Bit of history behind each piece. The fragment of hull piece from the R.M.S Titanic belonged to the former Vice President of the RMS Titanic inc who dived to the wreck 22 times. In 1996 an attempt was made to bring up a section of the hull, but this failed when the cables snapped. Two years later the same section of hull was fully recovered. The fragment in this video which is set in resin, came from the restoration before the section of hull was put on display at the Luxor Hotel Exhibition in Las Vegas.

The piece of oak from the HMS Victory is also from a recent renovation of the Victory where damaged sections of the hull was removed, and the reclaimed oak was sold off.

This pen and many more will be available soon on my website mjturning.com. Each piece comes with its own certificate of provenance.
