More than 100 years later, pieces of the Titanic still live on. Three items from the Titanic are now up for auction by Lion Heart Autographs, according to CNBC. One of the most expensive artifacts is a menu from the last lunch eaten aboard the ship, which is expected to auction for between $50,000 and $70,000.
The three items were salvaged by passengers who fled from the sinking ship, making their way onto Lifeboat No. 1. The other two items are a letter and a ticket to the Turkish baths, according to National Geographic.
These items survived the sinking, as well as the 100 years that followed. They all came from the lifeboat nicknamed the "Money Boat" or "Millionaires Boat" because many believe that these passengers made their way onto the lifeboat by bribing the crew, according to National Geographic.
The menu survived the ship in the pocket of Abraham Lincoln Salmon. The artifact also contains a signature from another passenger, the stamped date of April 14, 1912, and the White Star Line logo, according to the Guardian. On the menu that day was corned beef, potatoes, fish, ham, beef, an apple pastry and a variety of cheeses.
