This postcard was made to advertise the Titanic's maiden voyage and was given to various travel agents. After the disaster, it was recalled and the red printing detailing the loss was overprinted on the front. This card was postally used and was sent just few months after the sinking. Actually the picture is the RMS Olympic, which was frequently used to represent both ships. This very popular postcard spanned a few years and, as you can see in the color variation below, was used officially for the Olympic well after the Titanic disaster.
