April 27, 1912
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, from New York, dated April 27, 1912.
* Sinking of the Titanic
* 1912 Original
* Photos & Illustrations
The front page has: Loss Of The White Star Liner Titanic which includes a 6 3/4 by 8 3/4 illustration: Suggestion for handling a full complement of lifeboats. The boats are loaded amidships and moved on track to the davits. Also has small diagrams of the boat deck, plus a plan of the boat deck, and a larger diagram showing a longitudinal cross-section of the Titanic. Related reports inside: What We Know About Icebergs and Wreck of the White Star Liner Titanic--How the Worlds Greatest Steamship Went Down with 1600 Souls which includes four photos, plus an illustration of how an iceberg might have damaged the hull of the ship. An interesting issue providing a scientific analysis of this famous tragedy rather than the dramatic presentations that appeared in the daily newspapers. Non-archival mends to tear in the lower part of the first leaf and to back page, small piece missing in the upper right corner of front page, small binding holes and a rough left margin (hard to see in the image), but can easily be framed out since it is within the blank left margin. 20 pages.
