James Cameron will be releasing a 3D version of his film “Titanic” to honor the 100th anniversary of the legendary ship’s sinking. But if you really want to get an up close look at the world’s most famous shipwreck, you should check out the 5500 Titanic artifacts that will be auctioned off next year.

The Wall Street Journal reports that fine china, ship fittings, currency, and personal possessions will be auctioned off in April. The auction still needs to be approved by a federal judge in Virginia who has overseen the legal issues regulating the salvage of the Titanic for years. Premier Exhibitions Inc., the parent company of RMS Titanic Inc., plans to set an official date in January.

The Associated Press reports that the trove of Titanic artifacts was valued of $189 million after a 2007 appraisal.

Judge Smith, a maritime jurist, called the Titanic an “international treasure” when he ruled in 2010 that the artifacts should be sold as a collection and not piece by piece. Smith also ruled that the artifact should be available ”to present and future generations for public display and exhibition, historical review, scientific and scholarly research, and educational purposes.”

Guernsey’s, the New York City auction house that will be putting the Titanic collection up for sale, wrote in the SEC filing:

“The Property will be sold as a complete collection and offered for sale as one lot.”

Which means that when the Titanic artifacts do go up for auction, they’ll likely be purchased by a museum.

More than 1500 people died when the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage after striking an iceberg on April 15th, 1912. Would you go see a Titanic exhibit if the artifacts do make it to a museum?

Titanic is coming back to the big screen and its coming back in 3D. James Cameron’s massive Blockbuster will get a complete 3D makeover before it hits theaters in April, 2012.

Cameron said:

“This is a film that many people have seen, obviously, sometimes multiple times, but there is a whole generation of people who haven’t seen it in theaters.”

Cameron and producer Jon Landau showed 18 minutes of 3D film at the huge screening room at Paramount Studios.

Cameron said:

“I love the 3D, I think it’s spectacular. If I had had 3D cameras at the time, if there had been 3D theatres at the time, I would certainly have shot the film in 3D.”

According to Sky News, Titanic is the second highest grossing film of all-time (Avatar, another Cameron film, is number one). The movie, which stars Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet, won 11 Oscars in 1997, including Best Picture and a Best Director for Cameron.

Cameron hasn’t announced any plans yet, but the director did say that there are several classic films that could benefit from a 3D makeover. Could the Terminator get the 3D treatment?

“I do believe that there is an array of 10 or 20 movies – think of the best movies of all times – that should be converted in 3D, but it has to be done right. I firmly believe that 3D is an enhancement even for just normal, narrative scenes, not necessarily the action scenes. That feeling that you’re right there, actually with characters, enhances the emotional interaction between the audience and the film.”

Do you think Titanic will be better in 3D?

Between this and the recent theft of John Travolta’s rare and valuable Mercedes, there’s only one explanation… Carmen Sandiego is back in action.

One of the surviving relics recovered from the ill-fated Titanic has been nicked in Copenhagen. A gold-plated necklace was lifted from an exhibit in Tivoli park in the capital of Denmark, and Tivoli spokesman Torben Plank confirmed thieves made off with the jewelry some time on Saturday. The so-called “Titanic Necklace” wasn’t a stunning, high-priced jewel like the once central to the film’s story and pictured above on Kate Winslet in the “draw me like one of your French girls” scene- but its age and history gave it a value of nearly $20,000.

Plank confirms too that the piece was jacked without setting off any alarms, a circumstance he admits is “embarrassing.” The spokesman said that it’s believed the thieves were not experienced and that there were items of higher value within the exhibit that they could have taken instead. Also, resale value for the necklace is inhibited by its notoriety:

Exhibition owner Luis Ferreiro said the necklace had an insurance value of more than £12,000. But he added that whoever stole the item would get only a fraction of its worth on the open market – as its historical value was far greater than its value as a necklace, and it was too well known internationally.

He said: ‘It was very important piece. The artifacts tell stories about the people aboard.’

First-class passenger Eleanor Wildener of Philadelphia owned the necklace originally. Wildener survived the disaster and it was said the necklace was found in the pocket of the body of her butler.

Millvena Dean, the last survivor of the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, can rest easy knowing that her living expenses will be covered for her remaining days. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, stars of the movie ‘Titanic’ have pledged to give support to the fund set up to subsidize Millvena Dean’s nursing home fees.

Millvena Dean was just 2 months old when she was aboard the doomed ocean liner, Titanic, that sank after hitting an ice berg off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Canada, on April 14, 1912. The ship was on it’s way from England to New York on it’s maiden transatlantic voyage at the time. Dean survived after being rescued from the icy waters.

She has been living in a nursing home in Southampton, England after breaking her hip about 3 years ago and has since been struggling to keep up with paying her living expenses. She has had to resort to selling several of her Titanic mementos to raise money to make ends meet recently.

But DiCaprio and Winslet said in a statement recently that they hoped Dean could rest easier knowing that her future was secure. The Millvina Fund was launched Monday in Belfast, Northern Ireland in her honor.

The 96-year old survivor is apparently having problems in making both ends meet and she hopes to raise £3,000. The auction will feature a 100-year-old suitcase filled with clothes given to her family by the people of New York after they arrived following the accident. Also up for sale are rare prints of the Titanic.

“I am selling it all now because I have to pay these nursing home fees and am selling anything that I think might fetch some money,” Dean said in an interview with the Southern daily Echo newspaper.

Millvina has been living the in the nursing home for the past two years.

The auction organized by Henry Aldridge and Son will take place on Saturday, October 18.
