Watch of man killed on the Titanic sells at auction

从泰坦尼克号最富有的乘客身上找到的一块金怀表在拍卖会上拍出了破纪录的价格。

1912年泰坦尼克号沉没时,约翰·雅各布·阿斯特在确保妻子玛德琳安全登上救生艇后去世。

他和船一起沉没了,最后一次被看到是在他死前和另一个乘客一起抽烟。

一周后,阿斯特先生的尸体在大西洋被打捞上来,他的14k金沃尔瑟姆怀表也被发现,上面刻着他名字的首字母。

拍卖师安德鲁·奥尔德里奇解释说:“阿斯特是泰坦尼克号上最富有的乘客,当时被认为是世界上最富有的人之一,净资产约为8700万美元,相当于今天的数十亿美元。”

1912年4月14日晚上11点40分,泰坦尼克号撞上冰山,开始进水。

“一开始,阿斯特并不认为这艘船有什么严重的危险,但后来很明显船正在下沉,船长在午夜后开始疏散,所以他把妻子扶到了四号救生艇。”

阿斯特先生的妻子幸免于难,他的手表由阿斯特先生的儿子文森特传给了他父亲的执行秘书威廉·多宾的儿子。

它在威尔特郡Devizes的Henry Aldridge & Son拍卖,并以117.5万英镑的价格卖给了一位美国私人收藏家,这是泰坦尼克号纪念品的最高价格。

据拍卖商称,此前泰坦尼克号文物的最高拍卖价是一把在沉船时演奏的小提琴,成交价为110万英镑,这把小提琴于2013年在同一家拍卖行售出。

小提琴盒和怀表在同一场拍卖会上以36万英镑(含税费)的价格售出。

奥尔德里奇先生说,泰坦尼克号纪念品拍出的价格“绝对令人难以置信”,他补充说:“这不仅反映了文物本身的重要性和稀罕性,还显示了泰坦尼克号故事的持久吸引力和魅力。”

112年过去了,我们仍然在谈论这艘船、乘客和船员。

“泰坦尼克号的故事,实际上是一艘大船撞上了冰山,造成了人员伤亡的悲剧,但更重要的是2200个故事。

“2200个次要情节,每个男人、女人和孩子都有一个故事要讲,今天的纪念品讲述了这些故事。”
