The controversial wood panel upon which Kate Winslet stayed afloat in Titanic has sold for $718,750.
Film fans have long debated whether Leonardo DiCaprio's Jack Dawson character could have fit on the makeshift life raft.
The prop, which sold on Sunday, March 24, was the highlight of a week-long auction of hundreds of showbiz items and costumes from Planet Hollywood restaurants.
Other lots from the 1997 disaster movie included Winslet's Rose character's "swim dress," which went for $119k, two DiCaprio Jack costumes, achieving $60k each, as well as the ship's wheel ($200k) and a 400-piece dinnerware set ($39k).
Other sales from Dallas-based Heritage Auctions' Sunday event included the shaving foam can used in 1993's Jurassic Park to smuggle dinosaur embryos ($250k) and Toby Maguire's superhero costume from 2007's Spider-Man 3 ($106k).
Planet Hollywood was founded in 1991 by a group of Hollywood stars, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, and Demi Moore, among others.
Each Planet Hollywood location typically features movie memorabilia, props, and costumes from various films.
