Titanic life vest to make $80,000
BBC News
A life-jacket from the ill-fated Titanic could make $80,000 (£40,570) when it goes up for auction next month.
The life-preserver was found during the initial recovery operation after the liner struck an iceberg and sank in 1912.
The item is one of several linked to the Titanic which are being sold off by Christie's in Manhattan, New York.
