The Titanic Radio Operator Postcard (3.5x5.5")
Incredible piece is one of the few surviving souvenirs from the Titanic disaster. This postcard, stamped from Liverpool England in 1907 (one of the ship's docks), was sent by the Titanic's radio operator, Jack Phillips just before the ship's doomed journey. Phillips is remembered as being one of the bravest heroes aboard that fateful ship, staying on board and radioing for help to the bitter end. He ultimately sank with the ship. The card, addressed to his sister, features a great photo of the R.M.S. Teutonic on the front and is signed, "Jack." The R.M.S. Teutonic was an immigrant ship out of Liverpool, England before the turn of the century. Postcard is EX. <font color="red">Erratum<br>The photo on the front of this postcard is not the Titanic, as printed in the catalogue. It is the R.M.S. Teutonic, an immigrant ship utilized just before the Titanic was built.<br></font>
