Event Details

James Cameron’s Titanic told the invented story of the Heart of the Ocean; a fictional blue diamond necklace lost tragically in the ship’s famous sinking.  But what about the real treasures that were lost when the Titanic sank?  For over a century, the world has been intrigued by the story of the Titanic.  When tragedy struck on April 14, 1912, in addition to the incredible loss of life, a nearly incalculable amount of goods plummeted into the ocean, never to be seen again.  This lecture takes a closer look at and tells the stories of some of the more interesting and valuable treasures lost on that fateful night.

Mallory Mortillaro serves as the Curator of Collections for the Hartley Dodge Foundation in Madison, N.J. In addition, Mallory is an art historian and educator.  She has ten years of teaching experience and has worked on various art research projects for museums and organizations in the New York metropolitan area.
