A life vest worn by Laura Mabel Francatelli, a first-class passenger who survived the Titanic disaster in 1912, is set to be auctioned on April 18, 2023, by Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd. in England. This rare artifact is expected to fetch between £250,000 and £350,000 (approximately $340,000 to $475,000). The vest is unique as it is the only lifejacket from a Titanic survivor ever to be auctioned and carries the signatures of eight survivors from Lifeboat No. 1, adding to its historical significance. Francatelli, who was just 22 years old at the time of the tragedy, served as a secretary to British fashion designer Lady Lucy Duff-Gordon and was traveling with her and her husband. The vest remained in Francatelli's family for 95 years before being sold at auction in 2007 for £60,000. Following its display at Titanic Belfast until April 5, the upcoming auction offers collectors a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of Titanic memorabilia.
