The Hours of Awful Suspense in London, April 20, 1912. Creator: Unknown
The Hours of Awful Suspense in London, April 20, 1912. Relatives and friends of passengers on the Titanic studying the lists of the saved, and leaving the White Star Line offices at Oceanic House, Cockspur St, after making anxious enquiries for news. The White Star Line ship RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in thick fog off Newfoundland on 14 April 1912. She was the largest and most luxurious ocean liner of her time, and thought to be unsinkable. In the collision, five of her watertight compartments were compromised and she sank. Out of the 2228 people on board, only 705 survived. A major cause of the loss of life was the insufficient number of lifeboats she carried.
