RMS Titanic - photograph of iceberg, Atlantic Ocean

RMS Titanic - original black and white vintage first generation photograph of a large iceberg in the distance taken from the deck of Carpathia on the morning of 15 April 1912. 3.5 x 5.5 inches. The photo was taken by Mabel Fenwick, a newlywed passenger on Carpathia headed to the Mediterranean with her husband James when their ship diverted to rescue Titanic's survivors. She took numerous photographs and provided this one to the Snyders whom she and her husband had befriended on board. Obviously, we cannot assert with any certainty that this is the iceberg which collided with Titanic; however, it may be the only documented berg of this size and stature found at the wreck site itself. Given that the photograph was likely taken sometime between daybreak and around 9am when Carpathia headed to New York, and assuming an average drift speed of a little less than 1 kph (see Hospitality Newfoundland and Labrador, icebergfinder.com), this berg could certainly be a contender. This photograph is not a reproduction, a press photograph or a postcard image. It is an original 1912 first generation snapshot of an iceberg taken by Mrs. Fenwick from the deck of the Carpathia on the morning of 15 April 1912. Note: There is some paper loss along the middle right border not affecting the image. Provenance: John and Nelle Snyder Titanic Archive
