Compass stand from the Titanic

Description: Compass stand recovered from the RMS Titanic. The wood has been damaged by shipworm, a type of clam (family Teredinidae) that burrows into wood in marine environments. The Titanic was the largest ocean liner ever built at the time, and was reputed to be unsinkable. However, during its maiden voyage it struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic on the night of 14 April 1912 and sank with the loss of 1517 lives.
