I hope it didn’t go the way many other Iconic examples of fine engineering have been known to go. I think I read somewhere how parts of it have been found at different scrap yards in India.

It looked as though it had been sitting in a damp cellar ever since then. As I was lugging it through the parking area to the car, some kid, about 15 or 16, asked me what it was. I told him it was part of the radio apparatus from the Titanic, that had been brought up to the suface when they were salvaging for artifacts, but that they decided a piece of radio equipment was of no historic value and that one of the guys working there was a ham and took it home. I went on to explain that the guy who took it let another ham have it, who brought it to the fleamarket, and that I bought it from him.

The kid appeared to really believe me. His eyes expanded to the size of walnuts. He was so excited about this that I didn't have the heart to tell him it was only a joke, so he probably left Dayton thinking he had actually seen a part of the Titanic's wireless station. |
