This
marvelous real picture postcard was taken shortly
after the Titanic tragedy when all ships had to
comply with the new rules regarding safety. The
lifeboats in the picture were once thought to
be from the Titanic, returned to the White Star
Line from the U.S., but further research showed
that this was not true. They were probably intended
for another ship docked in Southampton. Message
written on the back and posted from Southampton
on August 10, 1916.
