The Authenticating Processes Begin
The authenticity of this incredible artifact needed to be confirmed before its true value could be realized. After all, it was nearly 100 years since that fateful night at sea! Auction company Henry Aldridge & Son led the investigation alongside Christian Tennyson-Ekeberg, who wrote a book about Hartley himself. To ensure accuracy, they even used CT scans and tested for saltwater deposits on its surface.
