EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing money order, dated April 9, 1912, is a rare and historic artifact from the White Star Line's RMS Titanic. The order for $450 was issued by Aherne's Exchange & Shipping Office in Queenstown, Ireland, and was forwarded to the Titanic by registered mail with a distinctive red rubber stamp bearing the words "Next ship calling: Titanic." The money order was an essential financial transaction during the 1910s, a time when luxury cruises and sea travel were becoming increasingly popular. This particular order was issued by the Admiralty, adding an extra layer of significance to the already fascinating item. Measuring 8.5 x 5.5 inches, the money order is printed and features handwritten details. The red rubber stamp, with its bold and clear imprint, is a striking contrast against the white background. The phrase "Next ship calling: Titanic" indicates that this was the last opportunity for passengers and cargo to be loaded onto the ill-fated ship before it set sail on its tragic voyage across the Atlantic. This unique piece of Titanic history is a testament to the transportation and financial systems that existed during the early 20th century. It is a poignant reminder of the intricacies of travel during this era and the importance of the role that shipping offices played in facilitating the movement of people and goods across the world. This money order is an exceptional addition to any collection of Titanic memorabilia or maritime history. Its rarity and historical significance make it a must-have for any enthusiast or scholar of the era. This image is brought to you by Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd. from Mary Evans Prints Online.
