On April 10, 1912, the luxury steamship the RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton, England to New York City with 2,240 passengers. It was the first transatlantic trip for this luxury ship and many of the passengers aboard were wealthy industrialists, celebrities, and high-ranking officials. The wealthiest of these passengers was John Jacob Astor IV. Mr. Astor was carrying precious jewels with him across the Atlantic to deliver to his wife. The jewels were said to be worth more than $10 million. That’s equivalent to $24 million today. Many of the passengers knew of Mr. Astor and his jewels.
On the night of April 15, 1912 the RMS Titanic collided with an ice berg causing major damage to the ship’s vessel. The ship was going down fast and there were only enough life boats for about half of the Titanic’s passengers. As Mr. Astor hustled to grab his belongings to run to a life boat, he realized that his precious jewels were missing from his personal safe.
