Rare Titanic Menu Sells For Over $100,000
A rare first-class menu from the Titanic sold for $102,000, as part of an auction of memorabilia associated with the sunken ocean liner.
Heavily water-stained, with some of the lettering partly erased, the menu likely ended up in the North Atlantic for a time when the Titanic sank in the early hours of April 15, 1912.
The menu details the first dinner on board after the Titanic set sail from Queenstown.
Dinner options on that night of April 11 included oysters, sirloin of beef with horseradish cream and pureed parsnips, with desserts including apricot Bordaloue – a type of tart – and Victoria pudding.
There seem to be no other surviving examples of the first-class menu for that specific night.
