Luxury beyond imagination The collection also includes an unopened bottle of champagne that is still full. "A little bit of water probably would have gotten in through the cork as it compressed and equalized the pressure. And then it just sat on the bottom of the ocean," says Tomasina.

There were thousands of bottles of champagne on board as first-class travelers were promised an unparalleled level of luxury, with sophisticated surroundings and top-tier cuisine and beverages.
