Description

A traveler sees the Titanic being built in Belfast: “We saw this vessel this morning”

Gorgeous and detailed real photo postcard of the Titanic being built, captioned at the bottom: "Harland & Wolff’s North Yard, with the ‘Titanic’ on the ways.” Postmarked August 18, 1911, in Belfast, and bears a brief letter in pencil, in full: “We saw this vessel this morning. Good voyage. It is a wonderful place—Belfast. I will tell you more about it later.” A line of stray ink to the upper left, light corner tip creases, and some soiling to the reverse, otherwise fine condition. An incredible, early postcard with a great photo and terrific content about the Titanic.
