About this Department
Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd are the World's leaders in the sale of Titanic Liner memorabilia. Described by Stanley Lehrer the owner of the worlds largest collection Titanic Memorabilia as the "Leading source of high end ocean liner collectibles in the world". We hold the world record for the most valuable item of Titanic memorabilia sold at auction. This was the Rostron Gold Tiffany Pocket watch which made $2m, the second highest figure was JJ Astors pocket watch for £1.2m achieved in April 2024. We also hold the record for most valuable item of paperwork relating to the Titanic, a letter written onboard by Archibald Gracie at £300000. Our expertise is regularly utilised by leading media outlets globally and the world’s largest museums. We hold two dedicated auctions a year with bound printed catalogues that collectors value as much for research as for the auctions themselves. We also have extensive experience handling material from other liners such as RMS Olympic, RMS Britannic, RMS Lusitania, RMS Queen Mary, RMS Empress of Ireland and the White Star Line and Cunard and are happy to handle single items to major collections either in the UK or globally.
