An anonymous collector forked over more than $130,000 for four relics from Titantic lifeboats that ferried survivors from the ill-fated oceanliner.
The items were sold on Thursday in two lots at Christie’s auction house in New York.
The first lot, which went for $72,000 comprised a painted bronze flag with the insignia of the White Star line — owner of the Titanic — as well as a name board from one of the lifeboats bearing the luxury liner’s name.
