A newspaper illustrating the agonizing wait facing families of those onboard the Titanic has been discovered at the back of a wardrobe in England after more than a century.
The aftermath of the tragedy, which saw more than 1,500 people lose their lives when the ship sank in April 1912, is poignantly captured in pictures featured in the 112-year-old newspaper. Dated April 20, 1912, the front page of British newspaper The Daily Mirror shows two women in Southampton - the English port city from where the Titanic set sail - waiting for a list of survivors to be posted.
This means tragedy upon tragedy for Southampton, where the majority of the men lived, for by this appalling disaster mothers have been robbed of sons, wives of husbands and young girls of sweethearts. “Yesterday was a terrible day in the history of the town, though it put an end to all suspense. A list of the saved was posted outside the White Star offices, and mothers and wives who had been hoping against hope eagerly read the names, only to find their worst fears were realised.
