 The article discusses how a musical toy pig belonging to Edith Rosenbaum, an American fashion journalist, survived the sinking of the Titanic in April 1912. The toy pig was part of a collection at the National Maritime Museum and had been damaged due to water exposure. Researchers used X-ray equipment to examine the internal mechanisms of the toy pig and discovered that it was a hand-powered type, which explained why it didn't play music when wound up. The team also found that the toy pig's crank handle was broken, likely due to attempts to reconnect it to the music box after the accident. The study highlights the importance of preserving historical artifacts and understanding their significance.
