Violin from Titanic band is found

The violin from the music band that continued to play even as the Titanic sank has been found. The instrument was handed over to the musician's fiancée after he died on the ship. Tests are being conducted to check whether the violin actually belonged to Titanic band master Wallace Hartley, who died along with the rest of his band members.

After the Titanic sank on April 15, 1912, the band leader was reportedly found with the violin strapped to his chest.

But there has been no mention of the instrument after that, and its whereabouts remained a mystery ever since.

Hartley's fiancée Maria Robinson was given the instrument after the incident.

The bodies of the band leader and two other musicians were pulled from the water by a search crew and taken to Nova Scotia, Canada.
