Kenneth Hollister Straus

Kenneth Hollister Straus is the great-grandson of Isidor Straus, a prominent passenger aboard the Titanic, whose story of devotion alongside his wife, Ida, has captivated audiences for over a century. Recently, he made headlines when an 18 carat gold pocket watch, which once belonged to Isidor and is believed to have been a gift from Ida, fetched a remarkable £1.78 million at auction. This watch, which stopped at the moment the Titanic sank, symbolizes the enduring legacy of the Straus family's tragic story, as Kenneth worked to restore it, ensuring its historical significance is preserved.
