| Menu from Titanic’s Last Lunch to be Sold on her 100th Anniversary
| Description: | Henry Aldridge and Son, the worlds leading auctioneers of Titanic memorabilia are holding an auction of Titanic collectables to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the completion of the Royal Mail Steamer Titanic on March 31st 2012. The sale will be 100 years to the day after Titanic was finished at Harland and Wolff. RMS Titanic left Belfast on April 2nd 1912, the start of a journey, which ended in tragedy in the cold North Atlantic on April 14th 1912 with the loss of over 1500 lives.
The star of the auction is one of the rarest items of Titanic memorabilia to be sold in recent years. Any menu from the Titanic is highly prized but collectors will be offered the opportunity of a lifetime, when a First Class Menu from the last lunch ever held on-board the Titanic goes under the auctioneers hammer on March 31st. The menu
carries the all-important date of April 14th and gives the reader a fascinating insight into the culinary life of Titanic’s elite passengers.
