Description

Large original 11 x 13.75 matte-finish photo of a pair of Titanic Emergency Lifeboats floating in the waters of the North Atlantic. The photograph, taken by Carpathia passenger Louis M. Ogden on the morning of April 15, shows Titanic Emergency Lifeboat No. 14 towing collapsible Lifeboat D to the RMS Carpathia. In fine condition, with a tear to the top edge. Ogden was a New York socialite aboard the Carpathia during the Titanic disaster who helped to photograph, document, and assist the survivors. This image, one of thirty he captured that day, was loaned by Ogden to Titanic survivor Archibald Gracie, a passenger on Lifeboat 12, who had the photo enlarged to use while writing his book The Truth About the Titanic, which was published posthumously in 1913.
