Description

During the sinking many of Titanic's first class deckchairs were thrown overboard for use as crude flotation devices, and many more floated off and out of the ship as she went under the waves.

This large section of woven cane was cut from the seat of a badly damaged deckchair that was recovered from the scene of the sinking by the Western Union cable steamer CS Minia.
