One of the recovered artifacts is a collection of sample perfumes from Adolphe Saalfeld, a perfume maker from England who survived the sinking. He carried with him on the voyage 65 vials of perfume of which 62 have been recovered. They were found on the sea floor in 2000 and plans were made to reproduce the perfumes.
This deck chair (with the original varnish) was auctioned for $77,000. The chair wasn't on the Titanic during its fatal moments. It was given as a souvenir shortly before the Titanic's departure, to a photographer caller Thomas Barker. Mr. Barker initially used it in his garden, but due to the fatal events, he didn't wish to keep it and gave the chair to his housekeeper.
