A humble biscuit that survived the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 became the most expensive nibble in the world Saturday when it was sold at an auction in England for 23,000 U.S. dollars.
The square-shaped biscuit, made with just flour and water, and just 9 centimeters by 10 centimeters in size, was stored in a survival kit aboard one of the Titanic’s lifeboats.
The biscuit was recovered by James Fenwick when he was honeymooning with his wife in the Carpathia, the boat that saved the Titanic victims. He stored the biscuit as souvenir in a waterproof envelope used for storing camera film.
The Fenwick archive, being sold by descendants, is regarded as a unique collection of photographs of the rescue operation, and included that single biscuit.
The biscuit was sold to a buyer from Greece.
