I saw in Thursdays Chicago Tribune, that one of only six surviving Titanic life jackets is being put up for auction next week by Christie's of New York,
It is expected to bring $60,000 to $80,000. The last one to be auctioned got $119,000. It is believed to have been found along the Halifax coast by farmer John James Dunbar a short time after the vessel sank in April 1912.
About 250 other Titanic related items are also to be auctioned including glassware, crockery and an essay written by 12-year old survivor Bartha Watt.
Definitely an Item of Interest. --Old Coot
