Titanic postcard from passenger and victim Alfonzo Meo

White Star Line, RMS Titanic - postcard written by Third-Class passenger and victim Alfonzo Meo-Martino from Queenstown, Ireland, on 11 April 1912. The card bears a short message to his brother, with the postmark denoting the card was on board Titanic and posted from Queenstown. It was rediscovered in an album of period Ocean Liner cards by the present vendor. Alfonzo Meo, 48, was an Italian musician living in Bournemouth who boarded the ship in Southampton, heading for Washington. His body was recovered by the CS Mackay Bennett and buried at Fairview Lawn Cemetery, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, on 10 May 1912. It is believed that Meo was the inspiration for the character of Fabrizio in the blockbuster 1997 movie. (1 of 2) Date: 1912
