R.M.S. Carpathia, Salvaged Red Octagonal Floor Tile
Patterned earthenware floor tile from an unknown location on the ship, approx. ?ins (d) x 5?ins (w) x 6ins (dia.) Given its sturdy structure, its depth and its weight, it would appear to be from a high traffic area on board. While a kitchen area would seem possible, its pattern more likely suggests that it came from a well-travelled passenger area.
The tile was recovered on 1st September 2007 by the Achilles Rover using an ROV basket. There is a remnant of a marine encrustation and some losses to the edges.
