Banner headline announces “Titanic’s Side Hit Berg And Boilers Blew Up; Carpathia In With Survivors; Stirring Story Of Heroism By World Man On Rescue Ship.” Smaller headlines on the front page read “Most of passengers in berths when liner, speeding for a maiden voyage record at 23 knots an hour, received fatal blow—Explosion broke her in two, and she sank 2 hours and 35 minutes later—John Jacob Astor, Henry B. Harris and Jacques Futrelle displayed great heroism, as did crew—Band went down with ship, playing ‘Nearer My God to Thee.’…Revolver shots heard by many persons just before Titanic dived to her grave.” Front page also features a large image of Bruce Ismay, with a headline to his story reading “Ismay Declares He Welcomes Inquiry; Regrets Disaster.” Some chips, small tears, and repairs to very fragile edges, uniform toning, central horizontal fold, Ohio State Library stamp to top, and binding remnants to left edge, otherwise very good condition.
