Not all was lost in the sinking of the Titanic. And several of its artifacts will be auctioned online Wednesday.
They include a lunch menu offering grilled mutton chops ... and a ticket for the ship's Turkish baths.
Both survived in the pocket of a passenger who jumped into the "Money Boat," a notorious lifeboat taken over by a handful of millionaires who left everybody else behind.
The crumpled menu is expected to sell for $50,000.

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Not all was lost in the sinking of the Titanic. Several artifacts will be auctioned off today. Among them, a lunch menu offering grilled mutton chops and a ticket for the ship's Turkish baths. Both survived in the pocket of a passenger who jumped into the money boat, a notorious life boat taken over by a handful of millionaires who left everybody else behind. The crumpled menu is expected to sell for $50,000. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
