A gold pocket watch belonging to two Jewish Titanic victims, who chose to stay on board so that others could have a seat on a lifeboat, is being sold at auction.
Isidor and Ida Straus, an elderly couple from the US who feature at the end of James Cameron's famous 1997 film about the disaster, boarded the doomed vessel in Southampton on April 10, 1912 to undertake the second leg of their journey home after a holiday in Europe.
When the iceberg struck, the first-class passengers were offered a space on a lifeboat, but Isidor, who was the joint owner of US department store Macy's, refused, saying he would not take someone else's space.
He insisted that his wife board, but she too refused, saying: "Isidor, we have been together for all these years. Where you go, I go."
