Now this is totally fascinating. This is an advertisement that we found in The Baltimore Sun printed on February 13th, 1912. And, as you can see, it’s for the voyage that Titanic never made from New York, back to England.

Even more amazing is this advertisement from The Baltimore Sun, printed on April 15th, 1912. The Titanic hit an iceberg the night before and went to the bottom of the Atlantic.
