Gold pocket watch given to captain who rescued Titanic survivors sells for record price
Briefly

Auctioneer Andrew Aldridge noted, 'The fact that Titanic memorabilia has set two records this year demonstrates the enduring fascination with the story and the value of the dwindling supply and high demand for ship artifacts.' This highlights the continuing interest in historical artifacts connected to the Titanic disaster.
The gold pocket watch was presented to Capt. Arthur Rostron after he diverted his ship to rescue survivors. It signifies not only a personal heroism but also the collective tragedy of the Titanic disaster.
