A letter written by Titanic survivor Col. Archibald Gracie before the ship sank sold for $399,000 at auction. Gracie's prescient words, "I shall await my journey's end before I pass judgment," significantly increased the letter's value. The auction, held in Devizes, England, highlights the enduring public fascination with the Titanic disaster and its survivors. The letter, sent from Queenstown, Ireland, was originally intended for a friend and arrived in London three days before the tragedy.
