R.M.S. TITANIC: First-Class passenger Arthur Gee from Salford, Manchester. Letter written on board Titanic dated April 10th 1912. Although in poor condition, the letter is written on Titanic stationery, over two sides in black ink, the contents legible, bearing a White Star Line watermark. He describes Titanic 'This is indeed the last word on luxurious travelling, it is more like a big First-Class hotel, hardly like a boat at all.' Arthur lost his life in the disaster; his body was sent back to Manchester where he was buried at Irlam O' The Heights Cemetery in Salford.
