Titanic relics raise more than $150,000

Brookline, Mass. -- Dozens of Titanic relics were auctioned for more than $150,000 Sunday, including a gold pocket watch owned by an Irish immigrant that stopped ticking the day of the sinking when she was rescued in a lifeboat.
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.
The Titanic sank in the North Atlantic on April 15, 1912, killing about 1,500 people.
The top sale price at the auction was $44,650 for the only known example of a third class menu postcard, dated April 14, 1912.
Baddeley said the items had belonged to a British private collector who wished to remain anonymous.
