Paper
Paper products, including cash, identification cards and boarding passes, have been recovered from the site. A readable name tag on a steward's coat has been recovered intact. A ticket for passenger Marion Meanwell was found among the rubble. Prior to boarding, her original voyage on board the Majestic was canceled, and she was transferred to the Titanic instead; she did not survive the sinking of the ship. Her boarding pass features the "Majestic" crossed out and "Titanic" written instead.
Dishes
As would be expected, a vessel with more than 2,000 passengers would have large quantities of dishes to sink with the ship. Porcelain plates have been found nearly intact and still lined up in racks. Many of the porcelain serving dishes, including plates, bowls and teacups, feature the Titanic logo painted on their surfaces. Large quantities of these items have been recovered and featured in Titanic debris exhibits.
Personal Items
Debris found inside the wreckage includes a large number of personal articles belonging to the ship's many inhabitants. Nearly everything belonging to those on board was left behind in the frenzy to disembark from the sinking ship. Suitcases, clothing and shoes have been recovered from the rubble and now rest in museums dedicated to the Titanic. Even perfume bottles still holding a scent have been found beneath the ocean's surface.
Ship
Pieces of the Titanic have been removed from their resting place and brought above the surface for inspection and archiving in museums. Windows, deck numbers and doors are among pieces taken directly from the sunken ship. Skylights used to illuminate storage rooms have also been surfaced and featured on display. The largest piece recovered from the Titanic measures 15 by 30 feet and weighs approximately 15 tons.
