This dinner menu was scheduled for the night of April 11, 1912, immediately after the Titanic’s departure from Cobh, Ireland, bound for New York, according to historical records.
Most people agree that Cobh was the last port the Titanic called before meeting her terrible end. According to the BBC, the estimated value of this menu at the auction is between 50,000 and 70,000 pounds or approximately Rs 51 to 71 lakh.
