Sank: A haunting reminder of maritime tragedies that shook the world. From the postcard sent by Tom Mudd, a survivor of the RMS Titanic, to the iconic Titanic poster capturing its grandeur before it met its tragic fate. The sinking of H. M. S. Poseidon and the view of the luxurious reading room onboard the Titanic stand as testament to human vulnerability in face of nature's might. Just like Sherlock Holmes unraveled 'The Adventure of Black Peter, ' we delve into stories lost beneath ocean depths. The hymn sheet from 1912 echoes with sorrowful melodies sung during those final moments on board Titanic. A panoramic image freezes time, immortalizing Captain Smith and his ill-fated vessel forever intertwined in history's annals. Reflecting upon 'The Loss Of The Birkenhead' litho artwork and HMS Eurydice stranded at Portsmouth Harbour in 1878, we realize that tragedy knows no boundaries or eras. Sank - a word etched into our collective consciousness through TITANIC's catastrophic end but also symbolizing resilience and bravery displayed by TRUE BRITONs when faced with adversity.
