Description
Advertising poster for the Titanic's only voyage from Southampton to New York, via Cherbourg and Queenstown. The rest is history, although the bizarre similarities to the 1898 novella, Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan by Morgan Robertson serves to illustrate the concept of "life imitating art"...

A classic. The sinking was reported in the Halifax Courier with the headline... 'Halifax man lost at sea' (Only joking) V/F

This kind of poster will always have impact, but the Titanic's fate gives it extra gravitas. And I never realised about Cherbourg and Queenstown!
