R.M.S. TITANIC:

R.M.S. TITANIC: Rare pair of photographs of 14 year old Third-Class victim Neal Ford. Travelling with Neal was his aunt Elizabeth Johnston and her family and a family friend, Phoebe Alice Harknett. The Fords bought ticket W./C. 6608 (which cost £34 7s 6d) and they boarded the Titanic at Southampton as Third-Class passengers and were destined for New London, Connecticut where his uncle Thomas Watson lived. The entire party of ten were lost in the sinking. None of their bodies were identified amongst those recovered after the sinking. His father Edward later filed a claim for the loss of his family and was awarded five shillings per week. What became of his father is not certain but it is likely he remained in Rotherfield and died in 1933. The largest 10cm x 14cm.
