A pocket watch belonging to a clerk on board the Titanic has sold for over 90,000 pounds at auction, 110 years on since the famous ship sailed its maiden journey.
The watch belonged to Oscar Scott Woody, and is frozen at the time he went into the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912.
It was recovered from the ocean and returned to his wife, Leila, a month later.
The watch was sold at Henry Aldridge & Sons, along with other memorabilia from the doomed ship.
Auctioneer Andrew Aldridge told BBC Radio Wiltshire: “He’s put stars next to the names of the wealthiest people.
“There’s one in particular, Charles Hays, who owned the Grand Pacific Railroad in America; very wealthy chap.
“Brereton has written in block capitals below his name, ‘MILLIONAIRE’.
An ornate dessert plate sold for £20,000 and a section of a column from the ‘à la carte’ restaurant for £23,000.
