The eerie song that played while the Titanic sank: Music from toy pig that comforted children is recorded for the first time after scientists repair it
The toy belonged to Edith Rosenbaum, an American fashion journalist
National Maritime Museum has now used X-ray scans to help fix musical toy
A recording has been made in the hope that public can identify the tune
‘I never would have left the ship,’ she said, ‘but a sailor came along and he said: “say you; you don’t want to be saved, well I’ll save your baby” and he grabbed this pig from under my arm and he tossed it in the lifeboat.’
Ms Rosenbaum followed the pig into the lifeboat and, during the seven hours before being rescued, comforted children on board with the tune.
