Titanic Menu Up For Auction.
Although Mr.Abraham Lincoln Saloman a New York Business man was in deep trouble here he still spotted a good investment in the ships menu.
I wonder is there any truth in the story No.1 lifeboat nicknamed "the money boat" as stated in this article.

Re: Titanic Menu Up For Auction.
'Money boat', as seamen, we would like to think not Jim because it is inherent in our nature to reach out to those in peril on the sea, regardless of class, creed or colour. But fortunately not having been there, we will never know, nor do we know how we would face those traumatic times or what our actions would be. I prefer to think that any seamen in the boat would have enacted the unwritten lore of the sea and that some papers just needed to pad out a story, and in that aspect nothing has changed

Re: Titanic Menu Up For Auction.
It didn't say where the Auction was taking place.
I want to sell my collection, now I am 80, I think I would rather have the money now to spend.
I have two framed Limited Edition pictures of the TITANIC signed by two survivors, Millicent Dean and Edith Haisman. both sadly now deceased.
Also a framed Limited Edition picture of LUSITAINIA signed by two survivors.
Three framed pictures of QE2 signed by several Masters, and a framed picture of Queen Mary 2, signed on the Maiden Voyage by the Master.
I just wondered how much they would be worth.
Plus a few more items of Cunard Memorabilia.
Cheers
Brian.
