Unsinkable Sale? Collection of 5,500 Titanic Artifacts Bound for Auction Block

A mere 100 days remain before the 100th anniversary of the Titanic sinking, and while the tragic event has already been immortalized in books, films, exhibitions, and a crowd-pleasing Broadway musical, expect a surge of interest in the doomed ocean liner come spring. One enterprising travel agent is planning a series of Titanic Memorial Cruises, on which history buffs and tempters of fate alike will set sail for the site where the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage, “to pay their respects at a special memorial service to take place at the exact time the Titanic sank 100 years before.”
