Titanic historians have discovered two train carriages they believe took passengers to the ship ahead of its infamous maiden journey.
Members of the British Titanic Society think the wooden carriages, found in a yard in South Wales, formed part of a train that carried passengers from London to Southampton on 10 April 1912.
Five days later the Southampton-based liner sank in the North Atlantic Ocean.
It is hoped the carriages, which are due to be scrapped, can be restored.
