coal snowglobe 60 mm with ship

I'm thrilled with my Titanic Snow Globe, a collectable with a sample of coal from the ship displayed on the base. I collect Snow Globes but favor something unusual or historic, and this is both. I heard about it, and other Titanic store articles, from a newspaper article on the Titanic. It's a little smaller than I thought, but the price was fair and I'm very happy displaying it with my collection!

When I was 7 in 1987, I became fascinated by the big ship at the bottom of the ocean. Now, having a kid who is 10, we both share a fascination for the Titanic story. She is going to totally geek out this Christmas to know she has something from the actual ship in her possession!

I bough this as a gift for my best friend. It was a relatively small globe however I expected it to be as the coal is relatively small object. I think it's a perfect peice of home decor/history and plan to buy one for myself soon.
