1. Joseph Conrad’s handwritten story
In 1912, collector John Quinn bought from the talented Joseph Conrad, writer of “Heart of Darkness,” a manuscript of a story called “Karain: A Memory.”.
Unfortunately, his handwritten story ended up being one of the things that died along with the Titanic, and since Conrad forgot to ensure it, he lost £40.
The writer wasn’t happy with his mistake, and as writer Frances Wilson says in her book “How to Survive the Titanic or The Sinking of J. Bruce Ismay, Conrad,” he was desperate for the money he lost.
After this tragedy being so annoyed by the devastating accident, he started writing essays about the giant ship’s sinking, in which he criticized everyone involved, including Ismay, the ship’s builders, the press, and the expert witnesses testifying at the inquiry.

One thing is missing . The sarcophagus(mummy board) of the main priestess of Amen-Ra from the British Museum. It was on the ship .
Since than a copy is being masqueraded around the word .
The captains dog died aboard Titanic as well as other passengers dogs.
The idea that a man was saved after spending an hour in the frigid water is absurd. He’d have
not lasted more than twenty minutes in that water.

The article was interesting and adds to the tragedy of lives lost and the treasures of those lost lives. But, the editing was atrocities! Numerous misspellings and gramatical errors.
I have not seen it mentioned that to me the most precious items that died were the dogs cats etc the passengers had with them.
Does anyone proof-read and spell check these articles before they are posted? It’s not that hard to do.
Sorry 😞 this article, in my never to be humble, opinion was a waste of time.
Hey Anna, your glaring ignorance shows, “Harbeck managed to get lots of videos of Alaska”. Video wasn’t invented yet, not for about 50 years later. What a dope.
My mother was very young at the time, but she and my grandparents were supposed to take the return visit back to England on the Titanic. It never arrived for them to do that. I wish I had the tickets today, but my grandfather got his money back instead.
Very interesting. For those who died as well as their belongings, you still cannot take it with you.
