Titanic survivor sells mementoes

[southeastastra]

how sad that she has to sell her memories here

i realise i made a fatal error with the tihre title. can i edit it

no. it is quite sweet.

person selling stuff and making lots of money is less so.

I wasn't paying a lot of attention but I'm pretty sure she got to keep them-it was on the local news.

very sad that she's had to sell the stuff to pay for her care and that the Titanic International Society didn't win the lots so they could be given back to her.

If someone googles it-I haven't time as I'm off to bed-I am almost certain she got them back!

Don't know if she got them back or not, but do feel that its a very sad world we live in when an old lady has to sell precious mementos to be able to afford care

titanic sank in 1912

yes it did totalmisfit and the is for????

oh, i see.

I know an old gentleman who saw it sail out of Southampton. There are plenty of people still alive who were around in 1912!!

I read today that,David Gest had visited her and offered her £13k so she wouldn't have to sell.

I saw this but thought if she hasn't got any relatives that she wanted to leave it to then why not? At least the person that bought it would be a collector that would look after it and sell it on. It went for what it was worth and will stay a collector's item. Makes sense.

it's okay david gest paid her fees

Hurrah for david gest, thats really nice of him.

I can't find anything that said he paid all of her fees - only that he gave her £3000 - but the stuff still had to be sold
