People waiting for news of the Titanic... New York City, USA, April 1912, (1935)
People waiting for news of the Titanic outside the White Star line offices at 9 Broadway, New York City, USA, April 1912, (1935). The crowd surrounding the White Star offices in a despairing effort to obtain the very latest news of the catastrophe. Operated by the White Star Line, Titanic was the largest and most luxurious ocean liner of her time, and thought to be unsinkable. During her maiden voyage, bound for New York, she struck an iceberg in thick fog off Newfoundland on 14 April 1912. 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. From " The Silver Jubilee Book - The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures". [Odhams Press Ltd. London, 1935]
