Titanic Survivor's Life Jacket Sells for Over $900,000 at Auction
A life jacket worn by Laura Mabel Francatelli, a first-class passenger who survived the sinking of the RMS Titanic, was auctioned for 670,000 pounds ($906,000). The life jacket, signed by Francatelli and other survivors, was the highlight of a Titanic memorabilia auction held by Henry Aldridge & Son in Devizes, England. The auction also featured a seat cushion from one of the Titanic lifeboats, which sold for 390,000 pounds ($527,000) to the owners of Titanic museums in Tennessee and Missouri. The high prices reflect the enduring fascination with the Titanic and the stories of its passengers.
