RMS Titanic - rare US Treasury Department Customs Service Pass for the Office of the Surveyor, Port of New York. The pass is made out to Mrs Grace Behr (mother) and stamped by Nelson H. Henry, surveyor. The probable use of this pass would have been for issue prior to news of the disaster to allow a friend or relative access to a passenger only customs area. Mr Karl Howell Behr was a first class passenger on Titanic and a well known tennis player. He was runner up in the 1907 men's doubles at Wimbledon and won the Davis Cup in 1915 with fellow Titanic survivor Richard Norris Williams
