Titanic menu set to fetch record price
Fifth Officer Harold Lowe, who was responsible for saving more lives than anyone else on board, slipped the historic menu into his pocket after dinner in the first-class restaurant on the first day of final sea trials on April 2, 1912.
On the bottom he scrawled the words, 'This is the first meal ever served on board', and posted it to his fiancee Ellen Whitehouse on April 10 when the ship called at Queenstown (Cobh) on the Belfast-built ship's ill-fated maiden voyage.
