In the 100+ years since its demise, there has been a steady stream of news coverage and text published about the ship, which sank in April 1912 after an iceberg collision. And let's not forget that Oscar-winning movie about the doomed voyage that hit theaters in 1997.
According to NBC News, a gold pocket watch that once belonged to first-class passenger Isidor Straus — who drowned alongside his wife Ida Straus — has sold for a record-breaking £1.78 million (aka $2.32 million). Auctioneers report that it's the highest price ever paid for Titanic memorabilia, NBC News reported on Sunday, Nov. 23.
The 18-carat Jules Jurgensen watch was engraved and given to Isidor for his 43rd birthday in 1888 — the same year he became a partner in New York’s Macy's department store, the news outlet also noted. It was recovered from his body after the ship sank.
