Original April 19, 1912, edition of The Minneapolis Morning Tribune, 17 x 24, with the entire front page taken up with reports of the sinking. Banner headline reads “Carpathia Brings 745 Titanic Survivors to land; 1601 Drowned; All Women But Three Are Saved.” Secondary headlines proclaim “Titanic’s Side Was Ripped In Crash; Huge Liner Breaks Amidship. Hundreds Take to Lifeboats,” “Passengers first refused to believe leviathan had received mortal wound—Party playing bridge resumed game after hearing of crash—Crew routs sleepers from berths to take to life boats—Captain refused to flee. Men are calm in face of danger. Distressing stories told by passengers in lifeboats—Rescued watch great liner break and settle—Astor last seen walking with wife—Great crowds pack New York piers when Carpathia docks.” Above the fold is also a table headlined “Titanic Horror Told In Figures.” Uniform toning, central horizontal and vertical fold scattered creases and edge tears, and some paper loss to edges, otherwise very good condition.
