Not a camera.

I'm disappointed, I honestly thought you'd be bang on the money straight away.

Perhaps I've chosen well.

Anything to do with the Titanic?

Hmm don't know the english word, is it on a ship? Maybe the two magnets they use to put left and right of the magnetic compass for adjusting against the ship's magnetic field?

But nah, then it would not be the only one of its kind, sorry.
