From Times Wire Reports
Dozens of relics from the Titanic were auctioned for more than $150,000 in Brookline, including a gold pocket watch owned by an Irish immigrant that stopped ticking the day the ship sank.
The watch, once owned by Nora Keane of County Limerick, Ireland, was sold for $24,675, more than three times its estimated value, said Jon Baddeley, Bonhams & Butterfields auction house’s marine collectibles expert. Keane survived the sinking.
