The video explores various objects and stories found at the bottom of the sea, specifically in the wreckage of the Titanic. It starts with the discovery of over 5000 objects, many of which were only discovered years later, revealing new secrets and mysteries about the Titanic.
One of the objects discussed is the last letter from a passenger, Alexander Oscar, who wrote it the day before the Titanic accident. The letter was written on paper from the company that owned the ship and was found inside a notebook. A piece of this letter was sold for 126,000 pounds in 2017.
Another iconic object is the violin played by violinist Wallace Hartley in the final moments of the Titanic. The instrument was found 10 days after the shipwreck, attached to the musician's body in the ocean. The violin was an engagement gift from his fiancée and was auctioned in 2013 for 900 thousand pounds.
The video also talks about the last meal menu served to first-class passengers on the Titanic. The menu was saved by a first-class passenger named Abraham Lincoln Solomon and was sold in 2015 for 88 dollars.
A significant discovery made during an expedition in 2001 was a small leather bag containing 62 samples of a perfume named Salsfield. The perfume was created by Adolf Salsfield, a Jewish chemist who was one of the few who survived the Titanic. The perfume was later recreated and launched as Legacy 1912.
The video also discusses a 15-carat gold and silver bracelet with the name M written in diamonds, which was found in 1987. The true owner of the bracelet remains a mystery.
Other noteworthy items include a watch found with the body of Oscar Rude, a Titanic employee, and a second watch belonging to a first-class passenger that stopped working at 2:16 am, possibly the exact moment the man fell into the water.
The video concludes with the story of the "unknown child" of the Titanic, a blond boy of approximately two years old, who was found floating alone after the sinking. Researchers believe the child was Sidney Goodwin, but have not confirmed with 100% certainty.
