A biscuit that survived the sinking of the Titanic was sold for £15,000 ($22,968) to a collector in Greece at auction in UK by Henry Aldridge & Son.

It has been dubbed the ‘most valuable biscuit in the world, while auctioneer Andrew Aldridge told The Salisbury Journal: ‘It is the world’s most valuable biscuit. We don’t know which lifeboat the biscuit came from but there are no other Titanic lifeboat biscuits in existence to my knowledge.’

The Spillers and Bakers ‘Pilot’ biscuit survived the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 in which over 1,500 people died after the ship hit an iceberg.

According to auctioneers, the biscuit was found in a survival kit that was stored within one of the lifeboats.

It was found by James Fenwick, a passenger onboard the SS Carpathia, which went to help the survivors from the ship and kept it as a ‘souvenir’ of the disaster.
