Crushed Titanic chandelier that hung in first-class smoking lounge heads to museum
Briefly

The Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, New Jersey, is showcasing a remarkable artifact from the Titanic: a chandelier that adorned the first-class smoking lounge. Weighing 20 pounds and featuring a beautiful gold patina, this chandelier spent decades submerged in the Atlantic Ocean. Part of a larger exhibit containing 250 Titanic artifacts, guests will experience an immersive journey as they assume the role of passengers from 1912, gaining insight into life aboard the ill-fated ship, which sank in the icy waters after hitting an iceberg.
It was there the night of the sinking. It spent decades on the ocean floor. And it still has its beautiful gold patina and covering.
Upon arrival, visitors will receive a replica boarding pass and assume the role of a passenger - following the journey from the ship's construction to its tragic sinking.
