The plan clearly shows why the

An incredibly scarce bronze flag, removed from a Titanic lifeboat. Amazingly, this listing is also accompanied by the original travel receipt of Istivan Osatai, who removed the plaque, showing that he was a passenger on the Carpathia on the very voyage that rescued the Titanic’s survivors.
