The Daily Mail The newspapers lying on the table are the editions of the Daily Mail that announced: (a) The Sinking of the Titanic on April 14, 1912 "DISASTER TO THE TITANIC. WORLD'S LARGEST SHIP" COLLIDES WITH AN ICEBERG IN THE ATLANTIC DURING HER MAIDEN VOYAGE" and (b ) The Crossing of the Atlantic by plane on June 14, 1919 " 'HOW I FLEW THE ATLANTIC' BY CAPTAIN ALCOCK. BRITAIN'S MAGNIFICENT ATLANTIC AIR TRIUMPH" The Daily Mail had previously (in 1913) announced a prize of £10,000 to "the aviator who shall first cross the Atlantic in an aeroplane in 72 continuous hours". |
