Lunch menu card

Price: $150,000 (estimated)

A day before the tragedy happened, guests aboard the historic passenger ship were obviously enjoying a sumptuous feast, as the menu dated April 14, 1912 describes. Comprising of 4 different courses for the lunch on that day, each section had a plethora of options for the guests too choose from, and a sight of it brings back perhaps the last fulfilling and enjoyable experience the passengers had aboard the ill-fated vessel. Mrs. Washington Dodge and her husband, who were one of the survivors from the event, had kept it as a part of their family heirloom, before it was put on auction.
