1912 RMS Titanic Tribute Collection VG w/Stock Certificate

Five-Coin Tribute To The R.M.S. Titanic!

In 1912, the unthinkable happened. That was the year a not-so-small ship named the RMS Titanic set out on its first and only voyage, carrying 2,227 enthusiastic passengers and crew. Of course, as the history books and Hollywood have shown, the massive steamship did not complete her historic trip from Southampton, England to New York City. On the evening of April 14, the “unsinkable” ocean liner hit an iceberg and sunk in the early hours of the next day. Only 705 would survive the freezing waters of the Atlantic. Of the 306 American passengers on board Titanic, 119 were never rescued. The surviving passengers, many of whom lost family and friends in the disaster, returned to the United States. In 2006, at age 99, Lillian Asplund, the last living American survivor of the Titanic, died in Massachusetts.

Taking Stock In The Titanic’s White Star Line

In addition to the coins, you’ll also receive an authentic, circulated paper stock certificate tied forever to that heartbreaking event. Issued from the 1920s to the 1940s, it represents ownership in J.P. Morgan’s International Mercantile Marine Company, the organization that owned the Titanic. Despite being registered as a British ship, the Titanic was part of the famous White Star Line that was purchased by American tycoon, John Pierpont Morgan through his International Mercantile Marine Company in 1902! The stock certificate shows a massive Titanic-style ship departing for a long ocean voyage.
