Craig, a Pennsylvania native, has had a lifelong fascination with the Titanic, sparked by a childhood discovery of a historic newspaper headline. What began as curiosity quickly grew into a deep interest in the ship’s human story, from acts of bravery and cowardice to the broader social dynamics on board.

His expertise spans all aspects of Titanic history, including the rescue efforts of the Carpathia, Marconi wireless communications, and artifact recovery. A member of the Titanic International Society since 1995 and a trustee since 2007, Craig is a recognized authority in Titanic memorabilia, frequently consulting for museums, auction houses, and collectors on authenticity and valuation.

He has contributed to major sales catalogs, written extensively on Titanic artifacts, and guest-curated the Titanic exhibition at the Independence Seaport Museum in Philadelphia. His collection has been featured in books, media, and museums worldwide, and he is currently co-authoring The Ultimate Guide to Authentic Titanic Collectibles.
