Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Newspaper, large folded newsprint sheets, some ad illustration, 12 pp. Probably removed, paper is browned and brittle, but mostly intact, some small tears and chips at extremities, pages partially split at center fold, small hole in page of one article with loss of a letter or two, paper name label on front page covering a letter or two of the lead Titanic article, rubber stamp in upper right corner, not affecting text, front page indicates 22 pages, but there are only 12 with this paper, but it appears complete, and all the Titanic articles are in these pages. While published about five days after the Titanic disaster, this paper is full of articles on the sinking. The lead article provides details on testimony of second officer Lightoller, which he gave to the American Congressional inquiry. However, there are many articles on the subject, and some of which appear to be the start of various Titanic legends and myths. A widowed woman tells how the men of the Titanic were "needlessly sacrificed, and how she saw some men dressed as women to get into life boats. While the captain is praised for going down with the ship, another article has American Senator Raymond denouncing White Star Managing Director Bruce Ismay (who was CEO of the company) as a coward (he survived by getting into one of the boats), and the person who risked lives for speed. Another article praises Col. John Jacob Astor who helped save a boy?s life by getting him on a boat when he was refused by a member of the crew, there is also a story of how wireless operator Philips was pulled from the sea, but died in a lifeboat. There is also one of the first reports about how first officer William Murdock shot a passenger aand than turned the gun on himself. The rescue by the Carpathia is covered, and a strange comment on how some Chinese Coolies survived by hiding under lifeboat seats.
