Titanic Menu Sells for $88,500

Saturday June 12, 2004
A large selection of Titanic artifacts went to auction in New York on Thursday, June 10. Three Titanic collectors decided to liquidate their collections, creating one of the largest ever auctions of Titanic items. Included in the sale was a piece of staircase, stationary, deck chair, and a postcard mailed from the Titanic. The item that sold for the most money was a well-preserved, original menu from the night the ship sank. The menu sold for $88,500.
