Images on this page from the Illustrated London News include the Republic sinking after collision; the state of the Florida's bows; the wireless-telegraphy room on the Republic from where Jack Binns sent signals.

Inoculation by H M Bateman
Inoculation by H M Bateman. This illustration shows a man smuggly and confidently going through a series of injections by different doctors, on different parts of his body. He is so proud of his trials that he does not see the traffic when crossing the road. A lorry almost runs him down, making him a nervous wreck and putting him back infront of the doctors with their syringes. Date: 1924
