'The Chefs of the Lost Titanic', and 'Visitors to the White Star Offices', April 20, 1912. Creator: Unknown.

'The Chefs of the Lost Titanic', and 'Visitors to the White Star Offices', April 20, 1912. 'The Chefs of the Lost Titanic': catering staff on the ship. 'Visitors to the White Star Offices': relatives and friends wait anxiously for information on passengers. 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. Page 19, from "Titanic In Memoriam Number", a special supplement in "The Daily Graphic" newspaper issued following the sinking of the 'Titanic' on 15 April 1912, published on 20 April 1912.
