A biscuit cracker that survived the sinking of the Titanic has sold for £15,000 ($22,968) at auction in England and has been dubbed the 'most valuable biscuit in the world.'

The plain cracker, sold by Henry Aldridge & Son auctioneers in Devizes in Wiltshire, fetched 5,000 ($7656) more than was expected. It was bought by a collector in Greece, the BBC reported.

Auctioneer Andrew Aldridge told The Salisbury Journal: 'It is the world's most valuable biscuit. We don't know which lifeboat the biscuit came from but there are no other Titanic lifeboat biscuits in existence to my knowledge.'

The Spillers and Bakers 'Pilot' biscuit survived the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 in which over 1,500 people died after the 'unsinkable' ship hit an iceberg.

According to auctioneers, the sweet was part of a survival kit that was stored within one of the ill-fated ocean liner's lifeboats.

James Fenwick, a passenger onboard the SS Carpathia, which went to the aid of survivors from the ship kept it as a 'souvenir' of the disaster.

He put the snack in a Kodak photographic envelope and wrote a note which stated 'Pilot biscuit from Titanic lifeboat April 1912'.

Aldridge added: 'It is incredible that this biscuit has survived such a dramatic event - the sinking of the world's largest ocean liner - costing 1,500 lives.

'In terms of precedence, a few years ago a biscuit from one of Shackleton's expeditions sold for about £3,000 ($4,593) and there is a biscuit from the Lusitania in a museum in the Republic of Ireland.

'So we have put an estimate of between £8,000 ($12,259) and £10,000 ($15,312) which makes it the most valuable biscuit in the world.'

One other item under the hammer was a 'loving cup' pictured here, it was presented to the captain of the Carpathia, which came to the Titanic's aid

Another item that went under the hammer was a 'loving cup' which was presented to the captain of the Carpathia, which came to the Titanic's aid.

It was given to Captain Arthur Rostron by survivor Molly Brown and was paid for by donations from wealthy passengers after the disaster.

It sold for an incredible £129,000 ($197,531) - making it the third most expensive Titanic item ever.

The cup, which stands 16 inches tall, was given to Rostron for his great courage to speed the RMS Carpathia through an ice field at night to reach the Titanic and rescue 712 survivors.

The auction also featured a photo of the iceberg that is believed to have sunk the cruise liner. It sold for £21,000 ($32,156).

The picture of the iceberg was taken by the chief steward of the passing Prinz Adalbert vessel. It was accompanied by a previously unpublished document he wrote of his account.

It states: 'On the day after the sinking of the Titanic, the steamer Prinz Adalbert passes the iceberg shown in this photograph.

'The Titanic disaster was not yet known by us. On one side red paint was plainly visible, which has the appearance of having been made by the scraping of a vessel on the iceberg – SS Prinz Adalbert Hamburg America Line.'

The Titanic sank in April 1912 during its maiden voyage to New York from Southampton after the supposedly 'unsinkable' ship struck the iceberg on 14 April 1912.The ship sank at around 02:20 on the 15 April.
