Infamous Titanic floating door prop sells for $718,750

The much-debated door from the 1997 film, which only had room to save Kate Winslet’s Rose but not Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jack, has sold at auction

One lucky theorist can now test their hypothesis, as the piece of prop balsa wood has sold at auction for $718,750 (£567,561).
