Titanic memorabilia from The Grapes up for auction

Romsey Advertiser

A FORMER Southampton pub's collection of Titanic memorabilia is to go under the hammer at a Dorset auction house today.

The Grapes in Oxford Street was steeped in Titanic folklore and, according to city legend, was where six lucky crew were drinking when they forgot the time and missed the liner's doomed maiden sailing.
