A memento of love shared by a couple on the Titanic.

The love story in the movie Titanic is based on a true story, and mementos of the real-life couple will be displayed to commemorate the 105th anniversary of the shipwreck.

Several gambling chips, a pendant, and cufflinks were among the items found in the luggage of Virginia Estelle McDowell Clark and her husband Walter Miller Clark. Their relics and story will be on display for a limited time at an exhibition in Las Vegas, USA, to commemorate the 105th anniversary of the shipwreck, according to USA Today.

The Clark family was enjoying a belated honeymoon in Europe. They decided to board the Titanic to get home in time for their son's second birthday. Virginia Clark said that when the iceberg struck the ship, her husband was playing cards in the main room. She interrupted the game and told him something was wrong.

Walter left, taking his wife to lifeboat number 4, while he stayed behind to help the women and children. Neither of them knew that it would be the last time they would see each other. The lifeboat was scheduled to be lowered to pick up more people. But because it couldn't take passengers from the gangway on the ship, it continued to be lowered. There were still plenty of empty seats on the lifeboat; Walter Clark might still be alive if he had acted differently.

During their research on artifacts from the Titanic, researchers tried to find relevant passengers. Fortunately, they found a pendant with the initials VC. Upon checking records, they concluded it belonged to Virginia Clark, who was married to Walter Clark.

The story of the Clark family and the artifacts recovered from the Titanic will be on display in the near future.
