The Mackay Bennett was one of the first ships to reach the scene of the Titanic disaster. According to Captain DeCarteret, this was the only berg at the scene of the sinking when he arrived. It was assumed, therefore, the pictured berg was responsible for the sea tragedy." Stamp-dated on the reverse, "Filed Apr 19 1967." In very good to fine condition, with scattered light creasing.
