The menu from the doomed White Star Line ocean vessel listed oysters, beef, spring lamb with mint sauce and mallard duck, which were offered to passengers on the night of April 11, 1912, the BBC reported.
Other menu items feature squab à la godard and apricots bordaloue, according to a news release from the auction house.
The menu showed water stains, which was likely due to the massive ship’s sinking in the middle of the ocean.
“The menu is a remarkable survivor from the most famous ocean liner of all time,” auctioneer Andrew Aldridge said.
The Titanic sank four days into her maiden voyage from Southhampton, England, to New York City after striking an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning hours of April 15, 1912. Approximately 1,500 passengers and crew members died out of a total of 2,200 on board the liner.
The menu bears an embossed White Star Line flag, the BBC reported. It also had evidence of water stains, as some of the menu’s text was partially erased.
“This would point to the menu having been subjected to the icy North Atlantic waters on the morning of April 15 either having left the ship with a survivor who was exposed to those cold sea waters or recovered on the person of one of those lost,” Aldridge said. “Having spoken to the leading collectors of Titanic memorabilia globally and consulted with numerous museums with Titanic collections, we can find no other surviving examples of a first-class April 11 dinner menu.”
The menu was found earlier this year among the personal belongings of a Canadian historian who lived in Nova Scotia, the news release stated. Recovery ships brought the remains of passengers who died to Nova Scotia.
The historian died in 2017, and family members found the menu inside a photo album from the 1960s, according to the news release.
Other items in the auction included a Swiss-made pocket watch, owned by second-class Titanic passenger, Sinai Kantor. It sold for approximately $118,700.
A first-class tartan-patterned deck blanket, which may have been used during the rescue of passengers, sold for $117,500.
Henry Aldridge & Son is noted for selling Titanic memorabilia, the BBC reported.
A fur coat owned by a first-class stewardess sold for approximately $184,000 in 2017. That same year, a letter written by passenger Oscar Holverson sold for more than $157,000, according to the news outlet.

Titanic Some of the Titanic's Notable Passengers', April 20, 1912. Photographs of well-to-do passengers, some 'known to be saved'. The White Star Line ship RMS 'Titanic' struck an iceberg in thick fog off Newfoundland on 14 April 1912. She was the largest and most luxurious ocean liner of her time, and thought to be unsinkable. In the collision, five of her watertight compartments were compromised and she sank. Out of the 2228 people on board, only 705 survived. A major cause of the loss of life was the insufficient number of lifeboats she carried.

Titanic Titanic -- A 20-ton section of the hull of the Titanic was lowered into a pool underneath the Union Depot Concourse, the location of "Titanic The Exhibition." The piece was retrieved from the wreck site of the Titanic on August 10, 1998, during the most recent expedition to the ship's location at the bottom of the North Atlantic. The hull piece measures 20 feet high and 26 feet wide and is by far the largest object to ever have been retrieved from the wreck site. The section of the hull, which has several portholes and is reinforced on the inside by steel beams, comes from a part of the ship midway between the port and the stern. It is the outer wall of an unoccupied first-class cabin on C-deck.The piece will be displayed in a 5 foot deep pool filledwith a solution of soda ash and water. This will be the beginning of many months of conservation treatment designed to draw the salts out of the metal.(Photo By JERRY HOLT/Star Tribune via Getty Images) (JERRY HOLT/Star Tribune via Getty Images)
