A hard tack biscuit or Cracker that was originally part of a lifeboat survival kit from the Titanic has sold for around $23,000 USD, at an auction in the UK.  


The biscuit was saved by James Fenwick, a passenger on the Carpathia vessel that saved Titanic passengers at sea, and was kept intact in a Kodak film envelope by Fenwick along with the following notation: “Pilot biscuit from Titanic lifeboat April 1912.” 
 


The price was around £5,000 more than the 103-year old snack was expected to fetch.



The last-surviving cracker from the Titanic in 1912 sold to a Greek collector.

It is now being called the “world’s most precious biscuit.”
