RMS TITANIC Artifact from the Discovery Voyage 1986 – DSRV ALVIN Styrofoam Cup Amazing survivor from the discovery voyage almost 40 years ago. A simple object, transformed by immense pressure. It has within it the story of it’s creation, and the lessons of hubris that are part of RMS TITANIC. It is a precious and tenacious object. Crushed by it’s trip to the wreck site, 390 times atmospheric pressure, then brought back to the surface, and stowed away carefully for 38 years. A great piece for any serious marine collector, a historic marker of a change in understanding, both of the wreck site, and the events that lead to the sinking. Hold in your hand an object that has been to the Titanic, showing the frailty of the cup and life, the great wreck at it’s resting place. Historic wonder from the 1986 voyage by RV ATLANTIS II with Robert Ballard and DSRV ALVIN. A standard Styrofoam coffee cup compressed to about 2″ high by 1-1/2″ hard object by the tremendous pressure present at the wreck site. Text by a member of the Atlantis II engineering crew (and seller of this object), a vintage scrimshaw. The cup was placed in the basket on the front of DSRV ALVIN, which then descended to the wreck of RMS TITANIC. At a depth of 12,500 feet the Styrofoam was compressed into this artifact. Text written on cup:RMS TITANTICR/V ATLANTIS IIDSRV ALVINROV JASON JRANGUS [Crew onboard DSRV ALVIN]P. Tibbetts (pilot)[?] KisselM. Mahre Dive # 1714 – 3800 metersLocation:41 degrees 46′ N50 degrees 14′ W[end] Also included is a copy of sea service letter verifying crew member status, unpublished GPS coordinates for part of the debris field, and personal experiences regarding important voyage events not previously disclosed. Delivery by courier within North America included. Other arrangements can be made by mutual agreement. Note from the crewmember/artist:The voyage to RMS Titanic takes one into a cold part of the North Atlantic. It’s grey there, with a heaving, cold, grey sea. Nothing like the sparkling blue seas off Bermuda, or the months we spent on the East Pacific Rise, tranquil Pacific swells near Galapagos. A somber place, a place where many met an unfortunate (and preventable) death. Cold fogs were as prevalent during our trip as what doomed the Titanic. Short, boisterous and sometimes nasty seas made for tough deck work. ANGUS worked at night to collect the image mosaics we’ve all seen, confirming the extensive debris field (though there are an untold stories there). JASON Jr was tasked with internal wreck scans (also know as dope of a rope). This cup was in the basket on the front of DSRV ALVIN, near JASON Jr.. More details revealed to purchaser. Please let me know if you have any questions. THANKS!
