titanic news

I've seen the CBS report on youtube of Robert Ballard doing his press conference where he shows and explains photographs from the findings. But I'm wondering if anyone knows of any news reports from around the world when the news actually broke that the wreck had been found? Thanks

11 March 1933: Robert Hume, commander of Laurentic II, retires "on age limit." (Although such retirements typically occur at the end of the calendar year of the officer's 60th birthday, Hume will not turn 60 until May.) He has been captain of Baltic II, Megantic, Doric II, Cedric, Euripides...

I do not pretend to be an expert on the extracurricular activities of the Ismay family, but I don't think I've ever come across this before. 26 August 1903: Bruce Ismay and seventeen others (none of them of any significance for the purposes of this series) are appointed Justices of the Peace...

Does anyone have any scanned copies of newspaper articles discussing Titanic prior to her setting sail? I'm only able to find ones about the sinking itself, and anything prior to that is just basic advertisement or from shipbuilding magazines.

I've been meaning to do this for years but only today have I finally uploaded to YT the news coverage of the wreck's discovery that I personally taped as an enthusiastic 16-year old back in 1985. This runs 1 hour and 47 minutes (there are a couple random non-Titanic stories left in) and...

Does anyone know if the news reporters were allowed in the general room at the US Inquiry and did they take notes and dash out to the telephones each time important news was discovered? I'm reading the survivor testimonies in the newspapers and they do not match the official transcripts of the...
