A picture of what could have been the iceberg that sank the Titanic has been put up for auction.
The black and white photo was taken by an undertaker onboard a body recovery ship in the aftermath of the sinking that killed more than 1,500 people.
The picture has been sold for more than £32,000 at an auction at Henry Aldridge & Son in Devizes, Wiltshire in 2015.
It was taken two days after the huge ship sank when it hit an iceberg on its first trip.

John Snow Jr., who works as a funeral director, is thought to have taken the picture and later put it on a cardboard mount and called it “Titanitic.”
It shows the open water with an iceberg that looks like an elephant because of its strange shape.
The Titanic was on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City when it hit an iceberg off Newfoundland in the North Atlantic on April 15, 1912.
The luxury ocean liner sank within hours, killing about 1,500 people.

The wreck, discovered in 1985, lies some 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) under the sea, about 435 miles (700 kilometers) off the coast of Canada.
The U.S. argues that entering the Titanic’s severed hull is regulated by federal law and its agreement with Britain.
Among the government’s concerns is the possible disturbance of artifacts and any human remains that may still exist.
