PUBLIC FASCINATION with the Titanic disaster of 1912 appears to have waned little in the 100 years since the ship struck an iceberg on its maiden voyage, sinking into the ocean with the loss of over 1,500 lives.
More 5,500 items recovered from the wreck are being auctioned this month by a New York auction house. Those items are being sold as a single lot and have been appraised at $189 million.
Some considerably cheaper memorabilia commemorating the disaster can be bought by Titanic enthusiasts from a range of outlets online – and for a range of tastes. Check out our selection of the, em, rather unique Titanic-themed products which are currently available:
