Letter by Titanic passenger written before sinking sells for £300,000

A 'prophetic' letter by a passenger on the Titanic sent days before it sank has been sold for a record amount.

Colonel Archibald Gracie - who survived the sinking but died months later from injuries he sustained in the freezing water - told his great uncle he would 'await my journey's end' before judging his experience on the 'fine ship'.

The hauntingly eerie letter sold for £300,000 ($400,000) - five times higher than it was expected to.
