My wife and I saw this in the Titanic museum in Gatlinburg, TN a few weeks ago. Really cool.

Edit. Pigeon Forge. It's just up the road from Gatlinburg.

It’s believed that the Stradivarius violin survived inside its leather case, which was strapped to Wallace Hartley’s dead body, which very luckily floated upright in his cork and linen lifejacket for ten days.

Over my dead body takes a literal twist

"For Wallace on the occasion of our engagement. From Maria" :(
