Description: | R.M.S Titanic sank off Newfoundland Coast April 15 1912 when she struck an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean. This is the newspapers' first article about the disaster and is extremely brief. The reporter gives a list of the many famous and wealthy passengers who were on board the ship at the time of the disaster. The article also reveals those among the first class passengers who were reported as missing and gives figures of those who were saved by the Cunard liner Carpathia. The article also tells of new shipping policies which are to be introduced in the wake of the disaster. i.e. ships will take a more southern route across the Atlantic Ocean as the ice field is much more limited. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Hampshire Library and Information Service - Hampshire County Council | Subjects: | disaster iceberg Edward Captain Smith bereavement Ocean Liner death wreck White Star Line Titanic millionaires | Source: | Sense of place SE | Creator: | Romsey Advertiser | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
