A menu for the first meal served on the Titanic has sold for $183,500 at auction in the UK.
The lunch - including sweetbreads, spring lamb and pastries - was served during the liner's sea trials on April 2 in 1912.
Second Officer Charles Lightoller, the highest ranking surviving officer from the Titanic, had given the menu to his wife as a souvenir before he left from Southampton on April 10 in 1912.
More than 1500 passengers and crew died when the Titanic struck an iceberg four days later.
