TL;DR Summary

A rare first-class menu from the Titanic, which is heavily water-stained and likely spent time in the North Atlantic, is expected to fetch up to £70,000 ($86,000) in an auction of Titanic memorabilia. The menu provides insight into the opulent dining experience of first-class passengers on the ill-fated ship. Other items up for auction include a tartan blanket used by a survivor, a pocket watch marking the moment a passenger entered the water and later died, and a facing slip highlighting the fate of postal clerks who died attempting to save mail sacks from flooding.
