R.M.S "Titanic". 1912 (Apr. 10) Cover franked 1d from Bradford to Nova Scotia endorsed "per S.S Titanic", intended to connect with the ship on October 11th but posted too late to connect with the sailing from Queenstown, carried on the subsequent ship to leave Queenstown with Amherst N.S arrival backstamp (Apr 22). Light horizontal fold, otherwise fine, an interesting cover, that just avoided being lost on the "Titanic". Photo on Page 24. (Image1)

S.S "Lochiel". 1960 Cover from Colonsay to London, the stamp washed off, the reverse with "Found open or damaged and officially sealed" tape tied by violet Lochgilphead rubber c.d.s (Oct 21), with a letter (2 Nov 1960) from the Postmaster of Lochgilphead replying to an enquiry about this cover, stating it was on the steamer S.S "Lochiel" which sank in West Loch Tarbert on October 8th, the mails not salvaged until the week ending October 22nd. Also a news cutting showing the half submerged steamer. Very rare, just two items from this wreck recorded in "Maritime Disaster Mail" by Hoggarth & Gwynn.
