The violin owned and played by bandmaster Wallace Hartley during the final moments before the sinking of the Titanic, displayed at a conservation studio in Lurgan, Northern Ireland, 2013. The violin was recovered along with his body 10 days after he and other band members played to calm passengers on the deck of the stricken ship after it hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage. The instrument bears an engraved message from the musician's fiance that reads: For Wallace, on the occasion of our engagement. From Maria. (Credit: Peter Muhly/AFP/Getty Images)
