Product Description

Circa 1912 real photo postcard. Unused. Excellent. A very rare Titanic related postcard. Postage includes insurance.

Annie Clemmer Funk (April 12th, 1874 - April 15th, 1912) was an American Christian missionary and a Titanic passenger. Since 1906, she was a missionary in the Janjgir-Champa district in Chhatisgarh, India. She was on her way to visit her ailing mother. From Janjgir-Champa, she reached Mumbai via rail and boarded a ship, the Persian. She disembarked at Marseille and reached Liverpool, England via train and boat, where the SS Haverford would finally carry her home to America. However, when she arrived, she learned that her ship would be delayed by a coal strike. So Thomas Cook & Sons offered to change her to a new ship, RMS Titanic, for "a few more gold pieces". Though it cost her more, Annie was assured that voyage on the Titanic would get her home in record time.
