A team of maritime historians has identified the surviving remains of the grand piano carried aboard RMS Titanic, more than a century after the instrument disappeared beneath the North Atlantic.
The identification was announced through a two-part documentary produced by The Steam & Splendor Network, in collaboration with HFX Studios and members of the historical team behind the book On a Sea of Glass: The Life & Loss of the RMS Titanic.
The object appears in only a few seconds of raw remotely operated vehicle footage in the collection of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association collection, recorded in the debris field near Titanic’s bow in 2003.
Although the wooden cabinet has largely disappeared, the piano’s heavy cast-iron plate—sometimes called the “harp”—remains recognizable on the seabed.
