Titanic 2013: Hartley's violin by ric gustafson
It was reported on MSN today that a violin belonging to Wallace Hartley was auctioned for $ 1.7 million dollars. Hartley was the bandleader on the Titanic and when his body was found days after the sinking, the case with the violin inside was strapped to his back.
This violin was discovered in 2006 in an attic in Britain and was tested with salt water deposits. It is the largest amount paid for a Titanic artifact other than an original menu which sold for $ 100,000.
