Life jacket from Titanic to be auctioned

A life jacket from the Titanic is on display at the Christie's auction house in New York June 18, 2008. The unused life jacket from the doomed Titanic ship will go under the hammer later this month at Christie's auction house in New York, the US. The cork-filled life preserver still largely intact, but stained and torn in parts was thought to have been found by farmer John James Dunbar on the Halifax shoreline after the passenger ship sank off Newfoundland.
