Description

Postmarked May 1912, the Titanic casts off

Real photo postcard of the Titanic casting off from Berth 44 just after noon, published in a series by G. D. Courtney of Southampton, captioned at the bottom: "S.S. Titanic ‘leaving’ Southampton on her Maiden Voyage April 10, 1912.” Postmarked May 1912, in Southampton, and bears a brief letter in purple pencil, in part: “Many thanks for apple received. They are the best.” A couple horizontal surface impressions to the upper left, light corner tip dings, and some silvering to dark areas of the image, otherwise fine condition. A fantastic image of the Titanic as she began her tragic voyage.
