Cruise_book_2 Speaking of coastal collectibles, cruise-ship fans will love an upcoming auction at New York’s Swann Galleries on May 22. It’s selling vintage photos, posters, ship models, and more, reports USA Today’s Cruise Log.

Collector Frank O. Braynard, who founded New York’s South Street Seaport Museum, amassed the items over his career. He died in December at age 91.

Biggest draw: Letters from the White Star Line to families that lost relatives on the Titanic. They may go for $8,000 to $12,000. Sound pricey? Pick up the auction catalog for a mere $35.
