i have come across a DAILY MAIL dated tuesday april 16 1912. does anyone have any idea how to tell if this is the real deal or a reprint?
it makes very interesting reading with some crazy claims.
"an official message received here via the cable ship Minia, off Cape Race, says that steamers are towing the Titanic and
endeavouring to get her into the shoal water near Cape Race for the purpose of beaching her".
also says "NO LIVES LOST"
"it is also reported that all the passengers are saved and the Virginian is towing the Titanic towards Halifax".
i have looked on ee bay and there are 2 on like mine but i see there are a few reprints and none give much on info on how to tell if mines real. gives you a funny feeling when reading this as the disaster is reported so wrongly. imagine if you had loved ones on board, the relief these false reports would have given you would of been very short lived. i would love a copy of the next days Mail!
