Inside the Sir Peter Black maritime museum in Auckland are many kinds of sea faring items. Here are some ships figureheads that had been recovered from actual ships. They are supposed to protect the ship.

I guess the owners of the Titanic did not believe in a figure head. It is a coincidence that my pastor Jonathan Dove of Mt Albert Baptist Church should preach on this unsinkable boat.

If you are interested in figureheads, do go on this link. It is very thorough.
