The auction feature menus from the Titanic's disastrous maiden voyage in April 1912, a deck chair that was used as a model for the chairs seen in the movie "Titanic," a life jacket and name plate from one of the lifeboats, and signatures of famous Titanic passengers such as Molly Brown and John Jacob Astor. Memorabilia and art from the movie also will be included.Gary Robinson, one of the three collectors, has spent more than 10 years amassing the vessel's material."The thing I like most about Titanic collecting is the challenge and the thrill of the hunt," he said. "Being a ship that sank on her maiden voyage, there's not reams of stuff for sale."Deciding to part with the collection has been bittersweet for him."On the one hand, I'm excited that the public will finally get a chance to appreciate these magnificent items that tell an important story," he said, but "it's difficult any time that you let go of something you've enjoyed collecting."
