A Co Wicklow man has discovered a menu from the Titanic while rooting through material at a street market in Athy.
The menu is dated April 11th, 1912, three days before the Belfast-built steamer struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank, with the loss of around 1,500 lives, during its maiden voyage.
Mr Sean Murphy, of Kyle, Tinahely, Co Wicklow, recently found the breakfast menu for second-class passengers.
The menu has a picture of the Titanic at the top with the White Star Line written above it. On the sides of the ship are the British and United States flags.
The extensive menu choice started with fruit, rolled oats and boiled hominy. This is followed by a choice of fish, Yarmouth bloaters, grilled ox kidneys and bacon, American dry hash au gratin, grilled sausage, mashed potatoes, grilled ham and fried eggs.
The second-class passengers were also fed on fried potatoes as well as Vienna and Graham rolls, soda scones, buckwheat cakes, maple syrup, conserve or marmalade.
They finished with tea, coffee or watercress.
The menu represents an item of memorabilia that will be of huge interest to "Titanic watchers".
There were more than 2,200 passengers on board the ship and only 705 survivors.
The triple-screw steamer was the largest moving object in the world at time of its demise. It had infamously been described as "unsinkable".
For the last 90 years the Titanic has held a fascination for people all over the world, leading to its successful location on the sea bed in 1985.
The catastrophe spawned the 1957 film, A Night to Remember, and more recently the 1997 blockbuster Titanic. The Titanic left the White Star docks in Southampton in England on April 10th, 1912, and her first port of call was Cherbourg, in France, where 274 passengers were taken on.
The next stop was Queenstown, now Cobh, in Co Cork, where she took on 120 passengers.
