* Before the Titanic sank
* Return trip home advertisement
Published shortly before the world's largest ship--the "unsinkable" Titanic--would make history by sinking in the North Atlantic, this newspaper contains an advertisement for the return trip of the Titanic. Obviously a trip which would never be made. The ad on page 13 is headed: "White Star Line", plus: "Plymouth--Cherbourg--Southampton" "The Largest & Finest Steamers in the World" "Olympic & Titanic" "Sail From New York" "April 20" plus a few other details (see). One wonders how many tickets were purchased for the return trip.
Also of interest are ads for the "Lusitania" & "Carpathia" just above the Titanic ad. Curious to have ads for two disaster-prone ships so close to one another.
Other news and advertisements of the day. Complete in 16 pages, light browning, minor margin wear, otherwise in good condition. Should be handled with care.
