A collection of things from Titanic sold at Auction

A trove of more than 5,000 artifacts from the Titanic, valued at $189 million, will go up for auction in April. But the items must be sold in bulk, and ownership will carry great responsibility.



 Fascination: The auction is believed to be one of the most 
significant of its kind by the auction house





Money: U.S. currency carried by one of the Titanic's passengers was recovered 
from the wreckage of the ocean liner 



Tea time: Some china used by the first-class passengers of the Titanic is another one of the recovered artifacts from the ship that will go up for auction in April 

 Classic items: Premier Exhibitions has been displaying the Titanic artifacts in exhibitions worldwide
