Titanic Heritage Goes Digital with NFTs
Titanic is one of the most iconic ships in maritime history, and now people can own a piece of its heritage thanks to the tokenization of recovered physical artifacts.
In a new collaboration, RMS Titanic Inc, Venture Smart Financial Holdings (VSFG) Ltd, and Web3 company Artifact Labs will make ownership of the Titanic’s artifacts available to anyone via blockchain technology.
RMS Titanic Inc Researches and Recovers Artifacts
RMS Titanic Inc is a company that conducts research and recovery expeditions of the Titanic wreck and surrounding ocean areas. With eight expeditions under their belt, they have recovered 5,500 physical artifacts from the Titanic.
These artifacts, which were previously only accessible to a select few, will now be turned into NFTs by Artifact Labs.
Artifact Labs and VSFG Will Handle Tokenization
Artifact Labs, a company that specializes in creating digital twins of physical objects, will be in charge of turning the Titanic’s recovered physical artifacts into NFTs.
Meanwhile, VSFG will handle the tokenization of the intellectual property, allowing people to share ownership of the Titanic’s heritage.
Unique Benefits for NFT Holders
NFT holders will not only get to own a piece of maritime history, but they will also gain access to unique benefits. These include VIP events at exhibitions and seminars with historians, allowing Titanic enthusiasts to connect with like-minded people and learn more about the ship’s history.
Titanic DAO for RMS Titanic Initiatives
In addition to the benefits of ownership, Artifact Labs will establish the Titanic DAO. This decentralized autonomous organization will allow members to participate in RMS Titanic initiatives, such as proposals for future dive expeditions, research, partnerships, and hosted events.
The proceeds from Titanic NFT sales will fund the DAO treasury, ensuring that the Titanic’s legacy will continue to be preserved and celebrated for generations to come.
A Familiar Space for RMS Titanic
This is not RMS Titanic Inc’s first foray into the NFT space. Last April, the company collaborated with Crypto.com to issue a drawing of NFT coins, tokenized pictures, and videos of the Titanic taken from the seabed. With this latest collaboration, the Titanic’s legacy is being preserved and shared with an even wider audience.
Wrapping Up
The Titanic has captured the imaginations of people around the world for over a century. With the tokenization of its physical artifacts, the Titanic’s legacy can now be owned and shared by anyone.
NFT holders will gain access to unique benefits and become part of a community that is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the Titanic’s history. This collaboration between RMS Titanic Inc, Artifact Labs, and VSFG is a significant milestone in the world of NFTs and maritime history.
