This is an authentic piece of Titanic's salvaged hull, from what's known as the "big piece." Oddly, this slightly enlarged piece of steel closely resembles the state of Louisiana.

This is an authentic Titanic rusticle. It is a rusty cement-like growth containing about 36% iron. Rusticles are deep sea microbes that feed off the iron of the ship. This piece is roughly the size of an average marble.

A vial containing actual rusticle powder and rust fragments from Titanic's salvaged hull. According to a a former Titanic exhibit staff member and friend to this site, "these vials of Big Piece rust were given to the volunteer staff of the 1999 St. Paul Titanic musuem"...a great gesture of thanks!
