Historic White Star Line Advertisement for Olympic and Titanic Liners
Presented in a refined Beech wood frame with a white mount board, this colour White Star Line advertisement for the Olympic and Titanic Liners is a striking piece of maritime history. The advertisement is further enhanced by the autograph of Millvina Dean, the last surviving passenger of the Titanic.
The RMS Titanic, the sister ship to the RMS Olympic, embarked on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City in April 1912. Tragically, on the night of 14 April 1912, the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank, resulting in the loss of over 1,500 lives. Out of the 2,224 passengers and crew on board, only 706 survived, making it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history. The Titanic’s sinking remains a powerful reminder of human vulnerability and the limits of early 20th-century engineering.
