EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image features a Relief Fund cheque for one pound and five shillings, issued by RMS Titanic in 1917. The cheque was made payable to Mr John Berriman, father of Second Class passenger and tragic victim, William John Berriman. The Titanic disaster, which occurred on April 15, 1912, claimed the lives of over 1,500 passengers and crew members. In the aftermath of the tragedy, various relief funds were established to provide financial assistance to the families of the deceased and injured. The cheque, dated May 27, 1917, bears the signature of an authorized officer from the Titanic Relief Fund. The white background, adorned with a star and the line of the RMS Titanic's name, adds a sense of formality and authority to the document. The ship, a symbol of luxury and transportation, now serves as a grim reminder of the devastating consequences of the ocean liner's ill-fated voyage. The 1910s were a time of significant change, as the world grappled with the aftermath of the Titanic disaster and the onset of World War I. The need for financial compensation became a pressing concern for the families of the victims. Banks and counties played a crucial role in the distribution of relief funds, as seen in this poignant artifact. This cheque, now a historical relic, stands as a testament to the human spirit's resilience in the face of tragedy. It serves as a reminder of the importance of compassion and support during times of hardship, and the enduring power of community in times of need.
