EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the memory of John Gill, a second-class passenger on the RMS Titanic, who tragically lost his life during the infamous sinking in 1912. The image is accompanied by a letter from the White Star Line steamship department, addressed to Mrs. Sarah Gill of Clevedon, Somerset. The letter, dated 22 November 1912, conveys the sad news of her husband's demise. The Gill archive, which includes this letter, was one of the most complete collections of its kind ever sold. It was acquired by Henry Aldridge and Son Ltd. in 2002. The letter, typewritten and bearing the White Star Line crest, provides a poignant reminder of the human cost of the Titanic disaster. The 1910s were a time of great advancements in transport and travel, with ocean liners like the Titanic representing the pinnacle of luxury and sophistication. Yet, this tragic event serves as a reminder of the inherent risks and uncertainties that came with such voyages. The Gill archive provides a valuable insight into the personal stories of those who were affected by the Titanic's sinking and serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of maritime history.
