A pocket watch found among the belongings of a passenger who died when the Titanic sank, could fetch up to £50,000 at auction.
The ladies' pocket watch was recovered from the body of Danish second-class passenger Hans Christensen Givard, 27, who had been travelling to the US with two of his friends who also died in the disaster.
The watch is being sold by his descendants and will go up for auction at Henry Aldridge and Son, in Devizes, Wiltshire, on 26 April.
"This piece is documented in the official list of Hans' effects compiled by the authorities in the weeks after the Titanic disaster and has remained in his family ever since," said auctioneer Andrew Aldridge.
