Five Titanic Music postcards featuring the song, ‘Nearer, My God, To Thee’: Wallace Hartley — Native of Colne. This is the largest portrait card of all the postcards that have images of famous Titanic passengers or the Captain; vertical image of Wallace Hartley — the ship’s bandleader; a black-bordered real photo of Titanic with the words and music to ‘Nearer, My God, To Thee,’ featuring smoke from all four stacks and a message reads (in part): “How do you like this card. Don’t you think the hymn is lovely?”; same as the previous, but the smoke is not real; a vertical card with drawing of Titanic with words and music to ‘Nearer, My God, To Thee,’ with musical notes on the front, and a message on the back that reads: “Have you already had one of these? Meant to have sent it last week”; and an S. S. Titanic drawing with a large portrait of Captain Smith flanked by two wreaths, featuring words and music to ‘Nearer My God, To Thee.’ Mild smudging to a line of music on one of the cards.
