Letter of Titanic Survivor Released
Today, we are five days short of the 95th anniversary of the sinking of RMS Titanic. A letter from survivor Laura Mabel Francatelli, written shortly after the disaster, has just been released, and will be sold at auction in May. Said Francatelli:
... we went down into the blackness of the water. Which never shall I forget. There wasn’t a light, or a lamp in the boat... We rowed away from the ship, which was sinking fast so to get away from the swell or suction. Then all the rest is too terrible for me to write. The screams of the hundreds of dear women, children and the bravest of men fighting in the icy cold waves, I still hear.
