Titanic passenger wrote to friend before fatal voyage, letter fetches $16,100 at auction

The Quick Take

A letter written by Titanic passenger George Graham on April 10, 1912, shortly before the ship left Southampton, revealed his hope of meeting a business colleague in Berlin the following year. Graham died when the Titanic sank five days later. The letter survived and was eventually sold for $16,100 at an auction in New York, setting a world record.
