A pocket see owned by John Jacob Astor IV, the wealthiest Titanic rider, was auctioned for £1.175 million, significantly exceeding the estimated £100, 000- £150, 000. Astor’s see, along with other things, was found after the fleet sank in 1912. The purchase reflects enduring attraction with Titanic antiques, with the previous record held by a instrument sold for £1.1 million.
