Horsea to all ships
Nothing further from Titanic. Her last signals came at 1.27 this morning. The operator on Virginian says that signals were blured and ended abruptly. The Liner Baltic reported herself within 200 miles of Titanic and says she is speeding to her help. 1550
The vendor has provided the following:
This is an authentic British Naval Telegraph about the Titanic sinking dated 15/04/1912.
All the serial numbers confirm it's a genuine Naval Signal. All written in pencil as it was always done.
My Grandfather bought this telegram signal during the First World War when he was in the Navy. The owner was the radio operator on his ship. Having docked for 2 days with leave but no money. My Grandfather offered 10 shillings for the signal which was accepted and became my Grandfather's possession. Passed on to my Father and them to me.
