A UNIQUE menu from Titanic was expected to fetch £40,000 when it goes under the hammer today.
The menu from the liner's first class restaurant is signed by Fifth Officer Harold Lowe, who survived the 1912 disaster.
Auctioneer Alan Aldridge said: "Officer Lowe was very highly regarded due to his courageous acts in the rescue. Items associated with him now have big commercial value."
The menu was part of a Titanic and White Star Line memorabilia auction at the Chilworth Manor Hotel, Chilworth.
