A real taste of life on-board the Titanic could be yours as what could be the world’s most valuable biscuit goes up for auction.
The Spillers and Bakers “Pilot” biscuit survived the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 in which around 1,500 people died.
It was part of a survival kit stored within one of the ill-fated ocean liner’s lifeboats and was kept as a souvenir.
It will now go under the hammer at Henry Aldridge & Son auctioneers in Devizes, Wiltshire on October 24 and is estimated to sell for between £8,000 and £10,000.
The biscuit was kept by James Fenwick, who was a passenger onboard the SS Carpathia, which went to the aid of survivors from the ship.
