Immortal Titanic's Cookie Auctioned For Over $20,000

The Titanic is still sailing---in public memory, in which it is unsinkable.

Even a cookie retrieved from the ship remains evergreen and becomes increasingly expensive in the world.

One cookie has been fished out from a life boat survival pack in the massive ship that hit an iceberg on April 14, 1912. The biscuit is going in an auction in England for more than $20,000, according to The Daily Mail.

This is the "world's most valuable biscuit." It was bought by a Greek collector at $22,968, according to Yahoo News.

"It is incredible that this biscuit has survived such a dramatic event," said Andrew Aldridge, auctioneer.

Earlier, this biscuit was held by James Fenwick, a crew member on board the ship that helped to save Titanic survivors, the S.S. Carpathia.

Henry Aldridge & Son auctioneers were the main bidders. The starting price was high, due to the cookie's "rarity and unique origin".

Now this was one smart cookie that has sold for a higher price than even "crackers from the polar expeditions of Sir Ernest Shackleton and a salvaged snack of old from the Lusitania" according to IGN.
