Irish Titanic survivor’s watch sells for €19,000

A POCKET watch owned by an Irish immigrant who survived the sinking of the Titanic sold for three times its asking price at a US auction.

The 18-carat gold watch stopped ticking on the day the ship sank, when Nora Keane of Co Limerick was rescued by a lifeboat.

It sold for $24,675 €19,200 at an auction featuring dozens of items salvaged from the doomed luxury liner in Massachusetts.
