Titanic

My interest is the TITANIC. Do you have any Memorabilia from the Titanic?

This is one of the most asked questions we get. Certainly the Titanic is one of the most famous ships of all time. Since we deal only in original items , anything from the Titanic is extremely rare and commands a very high price. Most original Titanic items are sold at auction, and therefore we do not have a list of Titanic Items for Sale. We do offer for purchase our reproduction Deck Plans (The only item we sell that is not original).

In addition, many collectors choose to collect items from the White Star Line, which is the company that the Titanic sailed for. One of our most popular items is our White Star Line Emergency Stations Deck Plans.

General Information

Exactly What is Ocean Liner Memorabilia?

Items of interest to our collectors are DECK PLANS, INTERIOR BOOKLETS & BROCHURES, MENUS, PASSENGER LISTS, SAILING SCHEDULES, POST CARDS and all other PAPER Memorabilia. We do not normally carry china, glassware or other “hard” items.

Deck Plans are maps of the ships, Interior booklets & brochures are popular because they show photographs of the ship and the interior rooms.
Some collectors prefer menus, programs and passenger lists because they rode the seas along with the passengers.
Whatever your interest, we have a wide assortment of memorabilia to suit your particular interests.
Except for post cards, we carry only items that were issued by the steamship companies themselves.
We do not sell any reproductions, all items are ORIGINALS. (Except for our Titanic Reprint Deck Plans). We also do NOT carry commercially published books that are currently in print.

We have continually served our clients throughout the US, Canada and many foreign countries since 1968.

I did not see the items I am looking for at this time. Can you help?

The items listed on our catalogs represent only a small fraction of our entire stock. We would be happy to search our database and send you a “Compu-Quote” by E-Mail. A “Compu-Quote” is a specialized quote from our vast database of items available to suit a specific collectors interest. Please let us know your specific interests. We can search our database by ship name, steamship line, date range, type of memorabilia or price range. There is NO CHARGE for this service [for an E-Mail Compu-Quote]. We would rather find the specific items of interest for you, rather than list them on a catalog and cause disappointment for you later if someone else purchases the item before you. However, please note that we are set up to help the collector of Ocean Liner Memorabilia. We are not set up to sell items by a specific date or voyage, so please do not request a particular date or voyage.

Can you help me do some ship research?

We want to clarify our business status, as we believe in being transparent with our customers. We are a for-profit enterprise specializing in the Sale of Ocean Liner Memorabilia and are not a publicly supported research organization or non-profit entity.

Lately, we have been receiving a significant volume of e-mails, averaging close to 100 daily, requesting various research-related information. These inquiries range from details about specific ships, assistance with Genealogy research, information about particular voyages, arrival dates of certain ships, and even help with Research Projects, among others.

As much as we value our customers and their interests, we regret to inform you that we are unable to dedicate the necessary time and resources to conduct in-depth research for each of these requests. Providing the level of service that our customers deserve and expect from us would be challenging under such circumstances.

Given these limitations, we kindly request that you refrain from reaching out to us for any research or “information only” inquiries that do not pertain directly to our core business of selling Ocean Liner Memorabilia. By doing so, we can focus our efforts on delivering the best possible service to our customers within our specialized field. We greatly appreciate your understanding and continued support. Should you have any inquiries related to our products or services, please feel free to contact us, and we’ll be delighted to assist you in any way we can.

Can you help me find items from a Particular Voyage?

Apologies, we are unable to provide specific dates for our items as all of them are unique originals. Pinpointing an exact date is akin to finding a needle in a haystack. It’s highly improbable that you will come across something from the precise voyage you have in mind. However, you may have the opportunity to own a valuable piece of history related to the ship or shipping company that interests you. While it might not be from the exact voyage or year you seek, acquiring such a treasure is indeed possible. Kindly refrain from sending us requests for specific dates, as our search capabilities are not configured for that purpose.

Can you appraise some items for me?

Yes, this is a fee based service. We have appraised many items and collections.   Click Here for Information on Getting your Items Appraised.
