Thank you Eugene for the donation! It is much appreciated! There is still time to help raise additional funds to help secure this important piece of history before it becomes lost like so many others before it!

Just In: My Wilhelm Gustloff sailor doll also came with this sailor doll from the M.S. Berlin, though which Berlin it is I have no idea.... pre or post war. I will be reselling it since I have no real interest in it.

Just In: I am not sure what I am more excited about this week. Finding the artifact recovered from the wreck of the Monte Cervantes, or this!

In 20 years, this is the third Wilhelm Gustloff sailor doll I've come across and I was able to sn**ch it up to add to the other two I have. It's in the worst shape of the three I now own, but the cap tally is still nice and clear. What I found the most interesting is that I bought it from a lady in the small town I was born and raised in - a tiny 2,700 population area in the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania. It also came with another doll which I will post next.

Just In: A Steinike & Weinlig mineral water bottle that was recovered from the wreck of the Monte Cervantes in 1945. It stayed within the family until it was given to the previous owner in 2006 in Ushuaia and I just purchased it from him. It is interesting too since it was once home to a clam - the full clam shell still remains on the inside of the bottle.

Just In: A Robert Ley souvenir photo album from her maiden voyage - April 18th to May 7th, 1939. Features 160 photos, 18 Robert Ley daily menus / agendas (missing 28 & 29), 13 daily menus / agendas from the Der Deutsche including 2 luggage tag stickers, and I also got two Cap Arcona menus from July 26th, 1934 and August 4th, 1934.

Now that I have a more complete set of maiden voyage menus, I do have another set that is missing April 19, 27, 28, 29, May 2, 4, and 7. Considering selling them if anyone wants to make an offer.
