Frequently Asked Questions
Is Titanic coal really from the actual RMS Titanic?
Yes. Each piece was recovered from the wreck site during authorized salvage expeditions by RMS Titanic, Inc. — the company that holds exclusive salvage rights to the wreck. Coal is the only Titanic artifact the general public can legally own, as all other salvaged pieces are required to remain on public display.
Why is coal the only Titanic artifact available for private sale?
Under the terms of the salvage agreement, all recovered Titanic artifacts must remain together as a collection for public display — with one exception: coal from the ship's bunkers. This makes Titanic coal uniquely accessible as the only authentic, legally obtainable piece of the legendary ocean liner.
How is Titanic coal authenticated?
Our Titanic coal is certified by Collectibles Authentication Guaranty (CAG) and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity confirming it was recovered during authorized expeditions to the Titanic wreck site, which lies approximately 12,500 feet below the surface of the North Atlantic.
What makes Titanic coal a meaningful collectible?
Holding a piece of coal from the RMS Titanic is holding a tangible connection to one of history's most famous maritime tragedies. Recovered from the bunkers that were meant to power the ship across the Atlantic in April 1912, each piece carries the weight of that extraordinary story.
