From the August 30, 2015, Yahoo! News "Last Titanic lunch menu, saved by survivor, going to auction" by Ula Ilnyyzky.
It was saved by a passenger who climbed aboard the "Money Boat" and expected to get between $50,000 and $70,000 by Lion Heart Autographs who will be offering it along with two previously known artifacts from Lifeboat No. 1. The auction was on September 30th, the 30th anniversary of the Titanic's discovery.
Abraham Lincoln Salomon, one of the handful of first class passengers who boarded the "Money Boat," also called "The Millionaire's Boat" Lifeboat No. 1 was dubbed this by the press because reportedly one of the people aboard bribed the crew members to quickly row away instead of trying yo rescue others..
The menu listed corned beef and dumplings along with other 1st-class offerings. It is signed on the back by another 1st Class passenger, Isaac Gerald Frauenthal, who escaped in another lifeboat. It is believed they ate together that day.
