An auction held in England sold a cookie from the legendary sunken ship, the Titanic, fetching more than $20,000, according to the Daily Mail. The "biscuit," as referred to in the U.K., was found in a life boat survival pack, and after being auctioned for thousands, it is being called the "world's most valuable biscuit."
It has been purchased by a Greek collector at $22,968, according to Yahoo News.
"It is incredible that this biscuit has survived such a dramatic event," said Andrew Aldridge, auctioneer.
The cookie was held onto beforehand by James Fenwick, one of the crew members aboard a ship that helped rescue Titanic survivors, the S.S. Carpathia.
Henry Aldridge & Son auctioneers were in charge of the bidding, and chose its starting price based on the item's rarity and unique origin.
Other snacks have been sold for thousands as well, but none fetched as high a price as this treat - not even crackers from the polar expeditions of Sir Ernest Shackleton and a salvaged snack of old from the Lusitania - according to IGN.
The Titanic, made famous in its day by its claim of being an unsinkable ship, hit an iceberg on April 14, 1912 and sank to the depths of the ocean, killing thousands.
