An unused Titanic ticket—the only first-class passage booked that was not used—belonged to a Liverpool clergyman. The Reverend John Stuart Holden was unable to make the journey when his wife fell ill the day before the luxury liner's doomed voyage in 1912.

More than 1,500 passengers and crew died following the ship's collision with an iceberg. After the ship sank, Holden hung the ticket in a cardboard frame on which he wrote: "Who redeemeth thy life from destruction."

The Merseyside Maritime Museum, in Liverpool, has kept the ticket in its archives since 1970.
