Titanic menu sells for 46,000 pounds at auction

[Andrew Clarkson]

A menu of the first dinner served to first-class passengers on the Titanic has sold for £46,000 at auction.

It was among 400 items being auctioned in Wiltshire as part of the 100th anniversary of the ship's sinking in the Atlantic Ocean.

The opulent menu is dated 10 April 1912, three days before the liner hit an iceberg on her maiden voyage and sank, killing 1,522 people.

It features several courses, such as roast duckling and fillet of veal.

Andrew Aldridge, of Henry Aldridge and Son Auctioneers, said: "Menus from the Titanic are among the most sought after memorabilia from the doomed liner."
