Lot Essay

The lifejacket in this lot is identical to those seen during the dramatic scenes as Titanic sinks. Similar blueprints are seen in the film at Andrews' table where he is sitting when the ship first hits the iceberg and is also similar to those he then brings from his room and rolls out when discussing the damage with the Captain and Officers.
