Of Titanic interest. A rare Gestetner Marconigram from the SS Virginian to the Captain of the Olympic, dated 16 April 1912, received at 8.45am NYT (New York Time):, HEAR RUMOURS THAT WE HAVE SURVIVORS OF TITANIC ON BOARD THIS IS NOT SO I HAVE NONE AT 10 am YESTERDAY WHEN 30 MILES FROM POSITION OF DISASTER RECEIVED MARCONI FROM CARPATHIA AS FOLLOWS :- TURN BACK NOW EVERYTHING O K WE HAVE 800 ABOARD RETURN TO YOUR NORTHERN TRACK Ñ I CONSEQUENTLY PROCEEDED ON MY COURSE TO LIVERPOOL. SIMILAR INSTRUCTIONS WERE SENT AT SAME TIME FROM CARPATHIA TO BALTIC I PASSED A LARGE QUANTITY OF HEAVY FIELD ICE AND BERGS COMPLIMENTS [Gambell, Captain Virginian]. Literature: Booth (J) and S Coughlan, Titanic Signals of Disaster, 1993, p.166, No.37. In the hours following the Titanic disaster, many wireless messages were being sent, and not all these contained accurate information. The SS Virginian was one of the ships that heard the Titanic`s distress signals and changed course in order to assist. The Carpathia of course arrived first and picked up the survivors. The early newspaper reports of 15 April linked Virginian with a rescue, the Evening News spoke of her `hastening to her aid` in its opening paragraph, saying that at midnight she was 170 miles west of the Titanic and was expected to reach her at ten o`clock that morning. The same ship was also to pick up the final wireless message from Titanic at 2.17am on the morning of 15th: `CQ.`, her communication cut off before the last letter of her distress call. The Royal Mail Archives hold three important telegrams sent by Ismay, Imrie & Co (the owners of the White Star Line) to the Secretary General of the Post Office who naturally wanted to know what was happening to their employees aboard and the many bags of mail the ship was carrying. The first two telegrams sent on the 15th reported that `Underwriters have message from New York that Virginian is standing by Titanic and that there is no danger of loss of life`. A half hour later another message said `Latest Word from Press Agency is Titanic proceeding to Cape Race all passengers Transferred Presumably to Virginian. Ismay`. The third telegram finally confirmed the awful truth of the great loss of life. J Bruce Ismay, as Chairman of the White Star Line, was held to blame by the American Press for the disaster, and was condemned for cowardice for his survival when so many others perished. We are grateful to the Royal Mail Archives for allowing us to reproduce one of the Ismay - GPO telegrams
