Titanic ticket

Apr 21 2008

One of the last four remaining tickets for the Titanic's doomed maiden voyage has been sold at auction for £33,000.

The ticket, sold by auctioneers Henry Aldridge and Son in Devizes, Wiltshire, was part of a collection of Titanic memorabilia belonging to one of the last survivors of the disaster, Lillian Asplund.

Miss Asplund died on May 6 2006, aged 99, and left the collection to her second cousin from Massachusetts, US.
