Titanic necklace stolen in Copenhagen

A gold-plated necklace once worn by a passenger on the ocean liner the Titanic was stolen from a travelling exhibition at Tivoli Gardens in the centre of Copenhagen on 17 September.

The necklace, worth €14,000, was stolen during opening hours at the fun park’s exhibition hall, without tripping the alarm system. It is believed that those responsible for the theft were not professionals as there were far more valuable jewels in the show. Also the fact that the necklace is so well-known internationally means that if the thieves manage to find a buyer they will likely receive only a fraction of its true worth.

The necklace is believed to have been owned by first-class passenger Eleanor Wildener of Philadelphia, who survived the sinking of the Titanic, and died in 1937. The necklace is said to have been found in the pocket of her butler whose body was retrieved, along with 1,517 other casualties, in the North Atlantic after the “unsinkable” Titanic hit an iceberg on 15 April 1912.

A reward of €1,000 has been offered to anyone who can help authorities to find the necklace, and the exhibition’s organisers would like to hear from people visiting the exhibition on Saturday 17 September between 10.00 and 13.00.
