Titanic memorabilia to fetch $189m in sale
VIDEO: Artefacts recovered from the wreck of the Titanic are set to be sold for $189 million (£120m). The exhibition items range from delicate porcelain dishes and silver cutlery to a 17-ton section of the hull, including portholes, pulled from the Atlantic seabed where Titanic sank 100 years ago.
Group to buy Titanic relics
An unnamed group have agreed to buy a collection of Titanic artefacts. The exhibition items, set to be sold for $189 million (£120m), range from delicate porcelain dishes and silver cutlery to a 17-ton section of the hull, pulled from the Atlantic seabed where the Titanic sank 100 years ago.
Premier's shares jumped 18 percent on after it said in a regulatory filing it had signed a non-binding letter of intent to sell the artefacts to an unnamed group of individuals. A federal court ruled last year that a sale must ensure that the entire Titanic collection is kept together.
– Bill Vlahos, portfolio manager at hedge fund Odyssey Value Partners, which holds a stake in Premier"[The buyers] are obviously a group of significant means because they have to have the resources to display and care for the artifacts and they have to be suitable for court approvals."

A garden in memory of the last survivor of the Titanic disaster has opened in Southampton.
Millvina Dean, who lived in the New Forest, was nine weeks old when the ship sank after hitting an iceberg in the Atlantic on 15 April 1912.
She died on 31 May 2009 - the 98th anniversary of the Titanic's launch - aged 97, at a care home in Netley Marsh, in Hampshire.
The Millvina Dean Memorial Garden was unveiled in a ceremony next to the SeaCity Museum.
It was paid for by donations from around the world.
Anger at Titanic II
People from the South have reacted angrily to the news that an Australian billionaire wants to rebuild an exact replica of the Titanic. Clive Palmer says that he hopes to build the ship in China. 550 people from Southampton lost their lives when the Titanic sank 100 years ago.
– Hayley Keating on Facebook"Typical, trying to make money out of a legendary memory, that was a real thing its not a movie. I say to leave it and respect the one & only titanic and the people who lost thier lives on it that fateful evening."
– Rachael Kinnear on Facebook"Obviously safety procedures and features will have to be followed by law so it won't be an exact replica of an already flawed design. Personally I can see it as a positive tribute to those who died as long as it is tastefully done and caters for those who have a genuine interest in the history of the titanic and not just the rich fat cats who use it for a claim to fame"
– Georgie Elliott on Facebook"Taste and respect are things of the past and where there is money to be made, there will be an opportunist rubbing his fat hands and putting £/$ in the bank ahead of peoples feelings. Sad but true."
