A letter written by the Titanic passenger a few days before the UK auction was sold a record £ 300,000 (400,000 dollars).
Colonel Archibald Grazi’s letter was purchased by an anonymous buyer in Henry Oldridge and a son’s auction house in Wiltshire on Sunday, at a price five times higher than 60,000 pounds, it is expected to be obtained.
The letter was described as “prophetic” because he recorded a count of Grays, who talks about the acquaintance that “waiting for the end of my journey” before making a “beautiful ship”.
The letter was dated April 10, 1912, the day he sat down in the Titanic in SouthGhampan, and five days before he sank after the iceberg struck in the North Atlantic.
The Grasi Kol was one of about 2,200 passengers and a crew aboard a titanium floating in New York. More than 1500 died in the disaster.
The first class passenger wrote a letter from Cabin C51. On April 11, 1912, it was located when the ship was combed in Quinestown, Ireland. It was also put to London.
The auctionist, who promoted the sale, said that the letter attracted the highest price of any correspondence written aboard “Titanic”.
The COL GRACIE immersion account is one of the most famous.
He later wrote the book “Truth about Titanic”, remembering his experience aboard the convicted ocean liner.
He told how he survived, moving to the overturned luggage in the icy waters.
More than half of the men who initially reached the rescue, either died of exhaustion or cold, wrote.
Although Colonel Grasi survived the catastrophe, his health was severely affected by the hypothermia and the physical injuries he suffered.
On December 2, 1912, he fell into a coma and died two days later.
