What Were Titanic's Most Expensive Lost Treasures?

When RMS Titanic sank in April 1912 a good few precious items were lost with it. The human toll of Titanic's sinking was immense - but with her went some interesting and rare treasures, from spectacular books of ancient poetry to more modern marvels of engineering like a rather famous car. Today we explore some of the most expensive items lost when the great liner foundered and learn about the owners and their stories.
