A menu from the last dinner served to first-class passengers aboard the Titanic before it sank in 1912 is among a few surviving artifacts from the ill-fated ship's journey that were to be auctioned off on Saturday.

The menu was up for bid in a sale that included a pair of license plates from the limousine that drove President John F. Kennedy through downtown Dallas when he was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963.

The opening bid on the license plates was $40,000, while pre-bidding on the menu reached $44,000 on Friday, according to Dallas-based Heritage Auctions.
