RMS Titanic Historical Plaque | Includes Authentic Coal Relic – 8"x10" Display

This is a rare opportunity to own an authentic fragment of coal recovered from the wreck site of the RMS Titanic during the 1994 Research and Recovery Expedition led by RMS Titanic, Inc.

Each 8” x 10” (20 x 25 cm) historical display plaque features a genuine piece of Titanic coal, paired with a richly detailed fine art illustration titled “Maiden Farewell – 1912 Titanic,” created by artist Craig Tinder. This unique collector’s piece tells the story of Titanic’s final voyage and the role coal played in powering the ill-fated liner.

The Titanic was driven by twenty-nine massive boilers, each weighing over 92 tons and standing more than 15 feet tall. At launch, the ship carried more than 6,000 tons of coal—over half of which had already been consumed by the morning of April 15, 1912. When the ship broke apart and sank, much of the remaining coal scattered across the ocean floor, preserved in the deep for over 80 years.

The coal included in each plaque comes from artifact No. 94/0036—the 36th item recovered during the 1994 expedition. This relic is part of a strictly limited series of historical art plaques available exclusively through the workshop of artist Craig Tinder.

Each plaque includes:

  • A piano black wood base with a removable kickstand—ready to hang or display upright
  • Metallic fine art by artist Craig Tinder
  • An authentic coal fragment recovered from the RMS Titanic (each piece is unique; photo shows a representative sample)
  • A historical data plate detailing the artifact’s provenance
  • A Certificate of Authenticity, signed by the artist

Supplies are extremely limited—once these sell out, they will not be restocked.

Note: Accessories shown in photos are not included. Includes wood plaque featuring artwork and historical relic only.

Known Relic History

The coal included in this historical plaque was recovered from the debris field of the RMS Titanic during the 1994 Research and Recovery Expedition led by RMS Titanic, Inc. Resting at a depth of over 12,000 feet in the North Atlantic, the wreck had remained largely undisturbed since the ship’s sinking in 1912. During the expedition, advanced remotely operated vehicles carefully collected select artifacts, including this coal fragment—cataloged as Artifact No. 94/0036, the 36th item recovered. Coal was one of the few materials robust enough to survive the intense pressure and time beneath the ocean, offering a rare and tangible link to the vessel’s original structure and voyage.

Coal played a vital role in the Titanic’s short but storied journey. The ship relied on over 6,000 tons of coal to feed its 29 boilers, which powered the engines and generated electricity throughout the vessel. As the ship broke apart and disappeared beneath the waves, thousands of tons of coal spilled from her bunkers and scattered across the ocean floor. These fragments, preserved for over eight decades in the cold and dark of the deep sea, now serve as some of the most recognizable and historically significant relics from the ship. Each piece included in the plaque is a genuine part of Titanic’s story—silent testimony to the lives, ambition, and tragedy tied to one of the most famous ships in history.
