One of only six life jackets remaining from the Titanic has gone on display to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the world’s most famous ship.
This is the first time the life jacket has been on public display on the island of Ireland and it is free for the public to view in the Grand Atrium of Titanic Belfast until Sunday 24th April.
It was recovered from the field of debris by Robert Edwards, Quartermaster of the Cable Ship Mackay-Bennett, which was the first of four ships chartered by the White Star Line to search for bodies in the aftermath of the sinking of the Titanic in April 1912.
