Titanic key is sold for ?90,000
« on: September 23, 2007, 09:18:33 AM »
Imagine having soooo much money that you could spend ?90K on an old key. What would you do with it?

Quote from: BBC Web Site
A tiny key that might have helped prevent the Belfast-built Titanic sinking has fetched ?90,000 at auction.
The key, with the tag "Crows Nest Telephone Titanic" opened the binoculars store, but was not on the ship when it sailed from Southampton.

You?d have to lock it up? and insure it for some ridiculous amount less a jealous bidder tries to ?acquire? it?  noooo:

I?ve got an old box of keys around here somewhere? I wonder?  rubschin:

The latest Titanic conspiracy theory is that it hit the iceberg because somebody had taken the key and the steering lock was on.

By Jove!

I?ve just discovered a key with a little label that reads ?Titanic steering lock key??

Do you think it is worth anything?  rubschin:

It all happened before I was born, so it was not my fault. OK?
