A telegram from a Titanic survivor sent from the rescue ship Carpathia to her sister in Milwaukee will be auctioned this month.

The message from Lucy Ridsdale, who had been a second-class passenger aboard the ill-fated ocean liner, simply reads: "Safe".

The sale, to be held by Julien's Auctions in California on February 27, will also feature a telegram sent to Captain Herbert Haddock of the Olympic, from the International Mercantile Marine Co in New York, requesting a list of every survivor on the Carpathia.
