NFTs from the Titanic shipwreck are finally happening
The story of the sinking ship, the Titanic, is one of the most famous and emblematic tales in recent history. Now, objects recovered from the wreckage will be tokenized using blockchain technology.
The American company, RMS Titanic, which has been responsible for recovering artifacts from the wreckage of the Titanic, has announced a partnership with Venture Smart Financial Holdings and Artifact Labs to begin the tokenization of these salvaged items.
As things stand, each company will add their own value to the operation. RMS Titanic holds the exclusive rights to the recovered objects and the remaining wreckage in the North Atlantic Ocean. Meanwhile, Venture Smart Financial Holdings have the task of structuring the tokenization of intellectual property from the retrieved objects, and raising capital for the investigation, protection and licensing exposure of the NFTs. Finally, Artifact Labs has the job of creating NFTs from 5,500 artifacts, using their own NFT blockchain system.
It is understood that these Titanic NFTs will bring exclusive benefits to holders, including seminars with historians, VIP events, and many other experiences. The debut collection will consist of ultra-limited edition NFTs to build a solid foundation for the newest Titanic-focused Web3 community.
A Titanic DAO is also in the works over at Artifacts Labs, which will allow holders to participate in proposals and initiatives for future events. Additionally, the DAO will help the development of partnerships, digital content, and educational programs.
RMS Titanic president, Jessica Sanders, said, “we are determined to ensure that the Ship’s artifacts are preserved in perpetuity and accessible to future generations.”
