When first-class passenger Col. Archibald Gracie boarded the Titanic in Southampton, England, on April 10, 1912, he drafted a letter to a friend.

"It is a fine ship," he wrote, "but I shall await my journey's end before I pass judgment on her."

Five days later, the "unsinkable" ship struck an iceberg and sank in the frigid waters off Newfoundland, killing some 1,500 of the vessel's roughly 2,200 passengers.

Now, Gracie's eerily prescient letter has sold at auction to an anonymous bidder for a record-breaking $399,000 — nearly five times its expected price. The auction took place on Saturday in Devizes, England.
