The menu is expected to fetch up to $150,000.

The menu was saved from sinking by Ruth Dodge, a passenger traveling with her husband, Dr. Washington Dodge and their son. As many tourists seeking a souvenir of their travels, Mrs. Dodge tucked the menu into her handbag. According to an article in the Telegraph, Mrs. Dodge and her son survived the tragedy along with the menu, which had remained in her bag. Dr. Dodge himself was saved from the sinking vessel by steward Frederick Dent Ray, who pushed the doctor on to a lifeboat full of children, to help him care for the kids. The memento mori menu has stayed with the family ever since. Now the item is heading to the auction block.
