A piece of biscuit offered at an auction in Devizes, Wiltshire in the UK was not just as ordinary (as some people think), but the only surviving survivor of the Titanic disaster, so it was worth more than $ 20,000, In a report published by the BBC "BBC"!

The piece of biscuits, along with other items related to the Titanic, which claimed the lives of about 1,500 people, was shown as a picture of the iceberg that caused the sinking of the mythological ship of its time, which was described before it sank as "against drowning" for its strength and strength compared with its contemporaries.

The biscuit was sold at 15,000 pounds ($ 23,000), and the picture of the iceberg taken by a host aboard another ship was sold for £ 21,000.

James Fenwick kept a biscuit chip as a souvenir from the sunken ship and wrapped it in a special water-proof container used to store the cameras. Vanwick and his wife left New York via the Carpathia, which saved nearly 700 survivors of the Titanic sinking. The Titanic "Sank on April 14, 1912, four days after its launch from Southampton to New York when it collided with an iceberg that caused its external structure to be pierced and the water leaked to it.
