RMS Titanic sFirst Class passenger Stanley May letter
RMS TITANIC: First Class passenger Stanley May onboard letter written April 11th 1912 at 11am. The letter talks of the New York incident and calls the ship a floating palace, written on two sides. It also mentions the book of postcards purchased on board by Mr May, sold previously by Henry Aldridge & Son. NB: Richard and Stanley May, Lily, Kate and Jack Odell travelled on the Titanic together. Both the Odells and Mays brought cameras with them on a planned fishing and motoring trip to Ireland which involved crossing the Irish Sea by the Titanic. Their time on board resulted in a number of photos being taken and culminated in one of the last known photographs of the Titanic at Queenstown. Henry Aldridge sold the Mays album of photographs for over £37, 000. The group travelled to Southampton where they boarded the Titanic for the voyage to Queenstown (ticket number 84 costing £24). Father Francis Browne SJ travelled on the same ticket, being of course responsible for some of the most iconic photographs of Titanic ever taken. Date: 1912
