Vested in the Titanic
Roanoke Times

After Christie's got $119,000 for a Titanic life jacket at an auction in London last year, Gregg Dietrich was not surprised that his phone kept ringing with offers of other items from the ill-fated ship. "When we sell one ... more seem to come out of the woodwork," said Dietrich, who heads the maritime (or "ocean liner") division of the auction house here. "We're been inundated with Titanic offers." The problem was, many of the calls came from people like the man who was certain he had all sorts of valuable Titanic keepsakes: a first-class passenger list, a menu from its Cafe Parisienne, even a passenger ticket that would have been the first ever auctioned. Except it wasn't.
