Title: A Titanic commemorative paper serviette [Go to resource]
Description: The Titanic disaster caused a great sensation around Britain and across the world. Manufacturers and individuals began to make commemorative pieces such as this in a bid remember the event and raise money for the Titanic relief funds. It wasn't just serviettes like these which were created but also pieces of music, gramophone records and poems. R.M.S Titanic was sailing on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, April 10th 1912, when she struck an iceberg off of Newfoundland and sank, April 15 1912. It became one of the most devastating sea faring disaster of all time with over 1500 lives lost.
