CNN —A gold watch gifted to the captain of a ship which rescued more than 700 passengers and crew from the Titanic has sold for a record-breaking £1.56 million ($1.97 million). The gold pocket watch was inscribed with a message from the three surviving widows to mark their "heartfelt gratitude and appreciation" for Captain Rostron. The previous record for a Titanic-related object sold at auction was also a pocket watch, which sold for £1.175 million ($1.485 million) earlier this year. For auctioneer Andrew Aldridge, the latest sale is a sign that interest in the story of the Titanic shows no sign of slowing down. The watch was sold to a private collector in the US and the sale figure includes fees and taxes paid by the buyer, according to PA media.

At 11:40 p.m. on April 14, an iceberg was spotted 400 nautical miles south of Newfoundland, Canada, but it was too late for the ship to change course. Universal History Archive/Getty ImagesThe two lookouts, Fredrick Fleet and Reginald Lee, failed to spot the iceberg in time. Their binoculars were also locked in a cabinet, which meant the lookouts were tasked with spotting icebergs using their eyes alone. The Titanic attempted to avoid the iceberg, but it failed to turn in time. As the ship scraped the iceberg, it tore a hole in the side of the ship, rupturing at least five of the watertight compartments.

Titanic a fost cel mai mare pachebot din lume în momentul plecării sale în călătoria inaugurală, din Southampton, Anglia, cu destinaţia New York, pe 10 aprilie 1912. Căpitanul picase examenul de navigaţieEdward John Smith, căpitanul Titanicului, a fost „victima” a numeroase mituri, în ultimii 103 ani. Când nava a început să se scufunde, a decis să înfrunte moartea cu demnitate. În realitate, pasagera Elizabeth Shutes a fost atât de deranjată de mirosul gheţii, încât nu a putut dormi. Un alt „ingredient” pentru dezastru a fost fenomenul de refracţie a luminii.
