The sinking of the Titanic in 1912 gave rise to one of the most famous films based on actual events.
The James Cameron film has kept the tale of the Titanic’s collision with an iceberg alive, over a century after the incident in the Atlantic Ocean.
Photos of a majestic mansion that belonged to one of the ill-fated ships’ investors have surfaced online.
Explorer Leland Kent shared photos of the mansion in Pennsylvania, US, once owned by Peter Widener, who had a 20% stake in the Titanic.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man had discovered an old abandoned mansion with cars graveyard.
Giving an overview of the mansion, an explorer named Steve said it was built in the 1800s by a wealthy businessman who had multiple streams of income.
Upon his passing, the businessman was said to have passed down the mansion to his son who owned a lot of cars.
The son however couldn't pay up his taxes forcing the government to take over the mansion. Since the takeover, the mansion hasn't been looked after or kept in good shape.
