LONDON, March 5: Four water-stained London tram tickets never before seen in public feature in an exhibition of artifacts from the Titanic that opens in May.

The tickets for travel from Waterloo Bridge, in the city centre, to Camberwell Green, in the south, were found in a leather wallet among debris scattered around the wreck, four kilometres down off the coast of Newfoundland.

“We are all familiar with Titanic from Hollywood, but this exhibition reveals the human side,” exhibition organizer Mark Lach told reporters on Wednesday.

Among other never-before-seen artifacts in the exhibition that opens for a four-month run in London’s Science Museum on May 16, is a personal travel document belonging to 63-year-old emigrant Marian Meanwell.

“Marian had been due to travel to New York on the Majestic, but the sailing was cancelled and she was transferred to the Titanic because there was a coal strike at the time and there was not enough fuel for both voyages,” Lach said.—Reuters
