EDITORS COMMENTS
A Unique Christmas Greeting from the Sea: RMS Titanic and RMS Virginian in December 1912 This evocative Christmas card, featuring the RMS Titanic and RMS Virginian, offers a poignant reminder of the historic maritime event that unfolded in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early months of 1912. The RMS Virginian, one of the vessels that answered Titanic's distress calls, is depicted here in crisp, white glory against the vast, dark expanse of the ocean. The Titanic, a symbol of opulence and grandeur, lies submerged beneath the waves, a tragic testament to the power of the sea. The 1910s were a golden age for ocean liners, with the White Star Line's RMS Titanic, the largest and most luxurious ship of its time, leading the way. Yet, the festive spirit of the season was not to be found on board as the ship sank on April 15, 1912, after colliding with an iceberg. By December 1912, the world had begun to heal, and the holiday season brought a sense of normalcy. This card, produced by Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd., serves as a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of the maritime world and the human spirit. The RMS Virginian, with its life-saving mission, became a symbol of hope amidst the tragedy. The card's verse, "May the Star of Bethlehem guide you safely to your destination," adds a layer of meaning, as the star on the card represents both the guiding star of the mariners and the hope of the Christmas season. The card's imagery of the RMS Titanic and RMS Virginian, set against the backdrop of the ocean, transports us back in time, allowing us to reflect on the past and the resilience of the human spirit.
