Up for auction is an April 21 st , 1912 issue of The Rocky Mountain News. Section one only plus a page or two. Two 1” edge tears left side (affecting all pages), small archival tape repairs to page 2 near top, binding holes with some paper loss and a piece missing from page 3 (please see photos) which does affect the Titanic article (several words from the first two paragraphs) but the article covers most of this page along with 2 other small Titanic related articles. The front page story relates the ignoring of the Titanic distress call by a German ship. Page 2 has several Titanic articles regarding: Ship safety, Senator Smith holding “Quick” hearings to get all the facts, “Ismay Responsible Declares Survivor’ and more! Page 3 has an illustration regarding the newly proposed life boat system and “Capt. Smith’s Last Heroic Deed”. Not too bad for its age (100 years old!). Please see photos! Ships flat (cardboard) to U.S. address only! Sold as is, so please email with questions or additional photos regarding condition or content prior to bidding. Thanks for looking!
