5 p.m. – 6 p.m.

Zoom

Join art historian Mallory Mortillaro on Zoom to travel back to April 14, 1912, when tragedy struck the RMS Titanic. James Cameron's Titanic told the invented story of the Heart of the Ocean, a fictional blue diamond necklace lost tragically in the ship's famous sinking. Learn the true story of how, in addition to the incredible loss of life, a nearly incalculable amount of treasure plummeted into the ocean, never to be seen again.

Mallory Mortillaro is an art historian and educator. As a researcher, she consults for private collectors, museums, and organizations in the New York metropolitan area. Her discoveries in the art world have garnered her international attention, including the Rodin Bust of Napoleon in the Hartley Dodge Memorial Building. She lectures across the country and lives in New Jersey. She studied at Drew University.
