May 07, 1915
THE GLOBE, South Bethlehem, Penna., May 7, 1915
* RMS Lusitania torpedoed and sunk
* All passengers safe ? (early report)
The top of the front page has two column heads: "LUSITANIA SUNK OFF IRELAND; PASSENGERS BELIEVE SAFE" plus a subhead: "Torpedoed Cunard Liner Had Aboard 1253 Passengers" and more (see). This report takes two full columns on the ftpg. & carries over to page 12 with a list of passengers.
An early first report of this significant maritime tragedy. Interesting as the headline suggests the passengers are all safe.
Twenty pages, light toning, some minor flaking at the margins with minor margin tears, generally good.
