A historic letter written by Archibald Gracie, one of the most well-known survivors of the Titanic disaster, has sold for a staggering £300,000 (approximately ₹3.4 crore) at an auction in Wiltshire, England. The letter, penned by Gracie on April 10, 1912, just days before the ill-fated ship sank, provides a poignant look into the thoughts of a man who would later become a key witness to the tragedy that claimed the lives of over 1,500 people.

A historic gold watch, once owned by John Jacob Astor, the wealthiest passenger aboard the ill-fated Titanic, has fetched a staggering sum of £1.17 million ($1.46 million) at an auction in England. The sale, conducted by auctioneers Henry Aldridge & Son, set a record for the highest amount paid for an item associated with the tragic 1912 Titanic disaster.
