A cookie that has witnessed an unforgettable tragic story is looking for its new owner. It is about the Pile biscuit of Spillers and Bakers, which managed to be preserved intact during the sinking of the iconic ship Titanic. The event dates back more than a century, and to date, the biscuit will be put up for auction and can be purchased, reports the Daily Express.
The unique find was housed in a survival kit housed in one of the lifeboats of the British liner, which became famous for its collision with an iceberg and its tragic sinking.
The cookie was stored by James Fenwick, a passenger on the Carpathian ship, who came to the aid of the survivors of the ill-fated Titanic. He accidentally found the piece of food and put it in an envelope. On it he wrote: Biscuit Pyle from the lifeboat of the Titanic April 1912.
A century after the great tragedy, the biscuit will be put up for auction in Deweis, South West England. The auction will take place at the end of this month. According to the organizers, it is quite possible for an enthusiast to offer an amount between eight thousand and ten thousand pounds for the incredible find. If that happens, Pyle will be the most expensive cookie on Earth.
We have no information on which lifeboat the biscuit was stored in, but as far as we know, it is one of a kind. It is unbelievable that she has experienced so much, said an auction house that will deal with the auction.
The most expensive biscuit in the world was offered for sale by the direct descendants of Funik and his wife. Apart from her, negatives from the rescue operation of the Titanic crew will be present at the auction.
James and his wife were on a honeymoon. They set off with great excitement, but did not even suspect what they would witness. On April 15, after the tragedy with the famous ship, Carpathia responded and rescued about 700 passengers. However, another 1,500 died. The newlyweds managed to capture incredible footage of the rescue operation and the emotions of the survivors.
