"Rare Titanic Menu and Historic Fried Chicken: Auction Sales Surpass $100K"

A rare first-class menu from the Titanic, heavily water-stained and partly erased, sold for $102,000 at an auction of memorabilia associated with the ill-fated ocean liner. The menu, salvaged from the North Atlantic after the ship sank in 1912, provides a glimpse into the opulence experienced by first-class passengers. Other items sold at the auction included a tartan blanket used by a survivor, a pocket watch marking the moment of a passenger's death, and a facing slip highlighting the fate of postal clerks aboard the Titanic.
