Mr Sutton was born in Suffolk and settled with his family in New Jersey, becoming wealthy from a property business. He had travelled to England in March 1912 for health reasons and was returning to the US on the Titanic. He died when it sank but at first his fate was not immediately known. Mr Sutton's body was buried at sea, with his effects placed in a white camp bag bearing the number 46 and taken to Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the MacKay Bennett recovery ship. The collection has remained in the family since 1912 and has never been publicly seen before. The second part will be offered for sale next year.
