Arrr! A scrap of parchment from some scallywag aboard the mighty Titanic, just three days 'fore she kissed the ocean floor, fetched a treasure o' over $25,000! Aye, and a trove o' other Titanic trinkets be joinin' the booty! What a jolly jest, eh?
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn of a curious treasure—an ol' postcard from a poor soul aboard the fateful Titanic! This here keepsake, penned by one Richard William Smith, a savvy businessman of the British Isles, sold for a pretty penny at auction, fetchin' more than $25,000 doubloons!The note, sent from Cork to a lady named Mrs. Olive Dakin, be dated just three days before the grand vessel met its icy doom—talk about poor timing, eh? Smith scribbled of his jolly jaunt to Queenstown, blissfully unaware of the calamity brewin' on the horizon. "Hope ye be all quite well at home," he wrote, moments before embarkin' on a trip that'd take a turn for the worse!
This treasure came from an auction house known for Titanic loot, where bidders also clashed over a fancy gold timepiece worth nearly two million! Captain Rostron, the hero of the tale, got a nod, savin' over 700 souls amidst the chaos.
