A life jacket worn by a survivor of the Titanic sold for £670,000 (around $904,500) at an auction Saturday, far exceeding expectations in what was billed as a “once in a generation” sale.
The jacket, which was expected to fetch between £250,000 ($339,000) and £350,000 ($474,000), is the only one from a survivor of the 1912 tragedy to go under the hammer, according to UK auction house Henry Aldridge and Son.
