    Description

    A LOVELY REPRINT OF A LETTER BY FREDERICK ERNEST WOODFORD TO HIS WIFE
    Woodford was employed by WSL, on board Titanic as a greaser, a merchant seaman who lubricates the ships engines.
    This letter dated April 11,1912 was written at Queenstown to his wife back in Southampton.
    4 days later, Woodford died in the sinking, leaving behind his wife, Susan, and two children, Susan Mary, and Annie Freda.
    Only 4 of the 35 greasers on board Titanic survived the sinking.
    At Queenstown, Frederick sent a letter to his wife with instructions to pick up his pay from the White Star Line offices in Southampton.
    This is a nice reprint of that letter, printed on 65 lb acid free archival card stock.
    It will look wonderful in your collection.
    (Picture Image of Woodford not included)
