Titanic life jacket is up for sale
Quote:
A life jacket worn by a survivor from the Titanic is expected to fetch £50,000-£80,000 when it is auctioned at Christie’s in London on May 16. The jacket, right, was worn by Mabel Francatelli, secretary to the socialite Lucy Duff-Gordon, who was with her husband, Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon. All three escaped in a lifeboat, designed to hold 40, with only nine others, seven of them crew. Sir Cosmo was accused of bribing the men to help them escape.
