On the 111th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, a North Bay man gives KPIX a look at his huge collection of artifacts from the infamous event.
Friday marks 111 years since the maiden voyage of the Titanic ended in tragedy. The ship hit an iceberg at 11:40 on April 14th and sunk in the early morning hours of April 15th 1912. It's a story that continues to captivate the world, even inspiring one of the most popular movies of all time.
"I grew up on the ocean. Ispent 14 years sailing around the world with my parents. It's just...it's nostalgic. I've always had a fascination with the Titanic." Tony even got a call from James Cameron to use his personal collection as research for Titanic. The movie reignited the world's fascination with the Titanic, and it made Tony a celebrity among collectors.
"I just know people who know people who were able to go down, so I managed to get hold of a couple pieces."
