This is understood to be the only surviving fragment of paint from the Titanic.
This fragment comes from a bulkhead of the D Deck First & Second Class Galley, and was deposited from the “Big Piece” shortly after a public display at Tropicana Casino and resort in Atlantic City, on September 8th, 1999. Although heavily broken down by rusticle growth, a thick layer of emulsion paint and primer still clings to the fragment.
