Product Description
This Titanic replica memorabilia pack of documents brought to you by Resources for Teaching includes: Telegram: Signalling the beginning of the end of the Titanic. "We have struck iceberg sinking fas" was a message too late for the 1,517 lost souls. -- Daily Graphic: An abridged edition of the newspaper reporting on the full extent of the horror that began on April 14th. -- 2nd Class Dinner Menu: A veritable feast of tapioca and curried chicken, finished off with a coconut sandwich. Unique glimpse into life aboard the Titanic. -- Passenger Booklet: Substantial booklet with fascinating detail on 1st Class passengers, ship facilities (including an "electric bath") and fares. -- Paperwork Assorted ephemera, including a passionate letter from the GW Union, criticising life boat priority according to 1st class passengers. Unforgivable. -- Advertising Flyers: Superb examples of Titanic advertisements using photographs and cutaway diagrams. -- Sheet Music: The band famously played on with this tune, to lift morale as the evacuation was under way. A poignant memento. -- Miscellaneous Images: A collection of exterior Titanic photos and pictures. (Cigarette card sized) -- NOTE: These items are replicas of original documents and information.

Good value for money,lots of information. My daughter is a big Titanic fan, this was a great resource pack.
When I gave her the pack she was so happy with it, happy kid means happy mum. I would recommend to anyone thinking of buying it.

My Titanic-mad 5 year old son was very interested in the pictures but too young to comprehend the level of detail in all of the ephemera, but I expected that when I ordered. I think this pack is very good value for money, especially for a child over the age of 6 or 7.

I bought this for a school project on Titanic. It arrived in a small plastic pouch and contains a number of items, including two double sided postcards (the first being Titanic and Olympic in Belfast, and Titanic just after launch; the other being fitting the tailshaft and the gymnasium). They are standard postcard size and are a little blurred in quality, but ok.
There are 6 'cigarette cards' with images of Titanic - 3 double sided with pictures, 3 with information.These were too small for me to use.
There was a long cut away diagram of Titanic with information on the back - but very flimsy paper so needed laminating before use (not easy due to the long length).
There was a copy of the 1st class passenger list - again flimsy but useful for work on data and on biographies
Also included was a postcard sized menu, 2nd class dinner on one side, untitled menu on the other.
An Advert for Vinolia Otto Toilet Soap - enough of a decent size for a small display.
A typewritten letter from the Seamans Union express sympathy for the loss of life - again small in size.
A copy of the comparison chart with the upended new Titanic against the pyramid, St Peters in Rome and other buildings (this picture is on the web also)
A music sheet of Nearer My God to Thee (English one side, in French the other)
a small pink card ID certificate for Percy Ball, a cook, born Southampton 23 Feb 1898 (and much too small to be of much use)
A transcript of the shipping certificate for Titanic - large enough to go on the wall, but with a lot of information on it so not easy to read if on wall.
A copy of a telegram from Titanic to Burma 'we have struck and iceberg sinking fast come to our assistance' etc
A larger poster adverising Titanic
A letter sent from on board Titanic from one of the passengers to 'My dear brother young' from 'your loving old Pastor' (it doesn't say so but I think it was from Rev Harper)
Finally there is a reprint of the Daily Graphic's special memorial number on Titanic.
Overall there is a good selection of items for the money, but it is difficult to know how to use them in a structured way. Many are too small or too flimsy to be used in a class setting - even in a small group setting - and are too small to be used in a display. Some of the choices are not as helpful as might have been. I would love for example to have had a copy of a ticket for Titanic that could have been used as a starting point. However the telegram, the advert and the newspaper reprint are useful, and given the very modest cost of this pack these three make it worth while.
I also bought a book - 'The Titanic Experience' and that had a lot of similar resources included within it, plus an audio dvd of Titanic survivors talking - but was four times the price of this when I bought it though it appears to have come down in price since - The Titanic Experience: The Legend of the Unsinkable Ship and the two together provide a good selection of resources.
