Telegram requesting a list of Titanic survivors on the Olympic
Titanic memorabilia or the early days of transatlantic aviation? The choice is yours at Julien’s online and live in California on February 27. Among a collection of Titanic relics are two telegrams from rescue ships Carpathia and the Olympic. One to Captain Herbert Haddock of the Olympic from the International Mercantile Marine Co. in New York requests a list of every survivor on the Carpathia, the other is from 2nd Class passenger Lucy Ridsdale to her sister in Milwaukee saying “safe”. There are serviceware items from Titanic and an envelope signed by all four surviving ships officers.
Another lot of local interest is the Pan Am 1938 Air Trails magazine and cover artwork of the Boeing 314 Clipper Flying Boat. There are no B314’s left today and the only full scale replica in existence is at the Foynes Flying Boat and Maritime Museum in Co. Limerick. This museum re-opens on March 15 after a winter break.
