			ALGONQUIN 1939 The Algonquin, Mohawk's sister ship and the rescuer of most of her survivors, is seen here in a stylised 1939 graphic promoting her service between Gulf ports and the New York World's Fair.

	Branson Courier		TITANIC IRISH FESTIVAL ENHANCES AN ALREADY GREAT EXPERIENCE Almost 97 years ago, at 11:30 p.m. on April 14, 1912 the unsinkable RMS Titanic was breached by an iceberg. Less than three hours later she achieved a static permanent place in history as she sank to a watery grave in the frigid waters of the north Atlantic taking 1513 passengers and crew with her. Fortunately, although the great ship herself might be a static piece of history at the bottom of the Atlantic, the celebration and memory of her short life and the passengers and crew who sailed on her are anything but static at Branson's Titanic-Worlds Largest Museum Attraction....	9th March 2009
	independent.ie		THE TITANIC LOVE STORY THAT CAUSED A RIFT IN MY FAMILY Tom and Hannah had tickets for another vessel but were transferred to the Titanic. It must have seemed like a stroke of luck because steerage on the Titanic was equivalent to second class elsewhere. They shared their cabin with another couple. Privacy was a luxury other classes enjoyed. Still, meals were plentiful, and survivors' accounts report merriment in third class, where the predominantly young emigrants partied during this hiatus between two worlds. Everyone knows what happened next. Three days after leaving Cobh, on the night of April 14, 1912, the Titanic collided with an iceberg. It was a catastrophe that could have been averted if ice warnings from other ships had been heeded. Or perhaps if the lookouts had been given binoculars, instead of having them locked away on the bridge. The Titanic is a story peppered with ifs and buts, as tragedies tend to be....	2nd June 2011

	Concord Monitor		TAKE THE TITANIC It's easy to find yourself mentally lost and wandering amid the minutiae of the infamously doomed transatlantic vessel that was the Titanic. Back in the early and grand days of the great ships, a first class ride was going to set you back as much as $4,500 - that's about $79,000 in today's money - and people brought along a mix of their most beautiful things, their most useful possessions and a fair amount of the unimportant stuff we can all find in our pockets or purses by the end of a day....	10th April 2010

	Long Island Report		BELFAST TITANIC LETTER FAILS TO SELL AT LONG ISLAND AUCTION The bidding started at $27,000. Within 10 seconds, it was at $33,000. Suddenly silence, no more bids. The auctioneer gave “fair warning” at $33,000, but what he said next drew murmurs from what had all day been a quiet crowd of about 30 bidders. “It’s going to pass at $33,000; it does not find a home today,” announced Philip Weiss, the auctioneer and owner of Philip Weiss Auctions in Oceanside. The item in question was a handwritten letter from Titanic assistant surgeon Dr John Edward Simpson to his mother in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The letter was emblazoned with the letterhead “On board R.M.S. Titanic,” and was dated April 11, 1912—just four days before the ship sank on April 15....	4th March 2012
