EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite real photo postcard, hailing from the esteemed J. Johnson of Belfast, captures the historic moment of the White Star Line's RMS Titanic setting sail for the first time on 31 May 1911. The postcard, which remains postally unused, transports us back to the 1910s, offering a rare and intimate glimpse into maritime history. The black-and-white image, reminiscent of the sepia tones of the era, showcases the Titanic in all her glory as she gracefully leaves dry dock, surrounded by a throng of onlookers. The White Star Line's luxury liner, a marvel of engineering and design, was the largest and most opulent ocean liner in service at the time, and her launch was an event that drew considerable attention from the world. The Titanic's launch marked the beginning of her illustrious, yet tragically short, career as a transatlantic passenger steamer. This postcard serves as a poignant reminder of the excitement and anticipation that surrounded the Titanic and her maiden voyage, which would go down in history as one of the most significant maritime disasters of all time. This J. Johnson of Belfast real photo postcard is a valuable and rare find for collectors of Titanic memorabilia and those with an interest in maritime history. Its pristine condition and the unique perspective it offers make it a coveted addition to any collection.
