Large original 13.75 x 11 matte-finish photo of a Titanic Emergency Lifeboat floating next to the RMS Carpathia in the waters of the North Atlantic. The photograph, taken by Carpathia passenger Louis M. Ogden on the morning of April 15, depicts the jubilant moment of a passenger transfer from a Titanic Emergency Lifeboat to the Carpathia. In fine condition, with three small circular rust-colored stains. 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.
