A cracker (biscuit) that survived tragedy of Titanic is going up for auction later this month and expected to fetch up to £10,000 ($15,000). The Spillers and Bakers “Pilot” biscuit was recovered from a survival kit board one of the Titanic’s lifeboats. James Fenwick, a voyager onboard the SS Carpathia – which went to the aid of survivors from the ship – preserved the edible. He put the sweet snack in a Kodak photographic envelope complete with the original note, which stated “Pilot biscuit from Titanic lifeboat April 1912″.
