Description
The sinking of the famous liner by the Marseille press.
We can no longer count the countless works that recount the sinking of the Titanic. But what about the reader’s perception of the time?
How in April 1912, the two regional dailies, Le Petit Marseillais and Le Petit Provençal, now defunct, relayed the sinking of the famous transatlantic?
From the 287 articles in this work, you will discover the terrible news, as thousands of readers did more than a century ago.
Editions after editions, articles after articles, while respecting the editorial form as best as possible, you will be confronted with the testimonies of the unfortunate actors of this sinister event, as well as the most fanciful dispatches.
You will no doubt be struck by the morbid count of millionaire passengers present on the ship in the April 17 edition of Le Petit Marseillais.
