100 Years After the Titanic Disaster This Family Recieved a Suprising Letter

One hundred years after the tragedy, academics are investigating a message in a bottle allegedly thrown from the Titanic just hours before the 882ft liner sank. The note, written by 12-year-old Mathilde Lefebvre, was found in Canada in 2017 and is now being studied to determine if it is authentic. 

In an incredible twist of fate, a message in a bottle purported to have been thrown from the deck of the Titanic has been discovered in Canada more than a century later. Scientists are now investigating the authenticity of the bottle’s contents, which could provide new insight into the fate of the ill-fated luxury liner.

An incredible discovery made waves this week when Nicolas Beaudry of the “Université du Québec à Rimouski” worked to confirm the authenticity of the world’s oldest message in a bottle. Found in a bottle that had been lost at sea for over 100 years, the note has been carefully analyzed by experts who were able to confirm its age. 

On April 15, 1912, the British liner Titanic met its tragic end following a collision with an iceberg in the Atlantic Ocean. Mathilde and 1,500 other helpless passengers had no choice but to perish in the icy waters. Little did anyone know that a message from Mathilde would resurface years later.

105 years after the Titanic set sail on its fateful voyage, Mathilde’s message in a bottle was discovered in the Bay of Fundy, Canada. On April 10, 1912, the Titanic left Southampton, England, with its passengers filled with the joys of a new adventure. Little did they know that five days later, the Titanic would hit an iceberg, leading to the loss of more than 1,500 lives. 

On April 13, 1912, a mysterious note was written by a French schoolgirl named Mathilde Lefebvre. She was only 12 years old and was travelling to New York City with her mother Marie. Mathilde was planning to visit her father and siblings there. 

A message in a bottle has been discovered on a beach in New Brunswick, Canada, in 2017. What was written inside it? Scientists are finding the answer with a special technique called spectroscopy. This method uses light to analyze the chemical composition of the ink and paper used in the message. 

Nicolas Beaudry is on a mission to uncover history – examining a mysterious document written by Mathilde Lefebvre. This document could potentially reveal secrets from the past, which have been hidden for years. 

Daniel Bourgault and El Hadi Cherfouh were exploring the area near their home when they made an incredible discovery. The couple, accompanied by El Hadi’s wife Nacera Bellila, stumbled upon a bottle with a message inside. Little did they know that this seemingly ordinary find would lead to an extraordinary journey. 

The RMS Titanic was a feat of unparalleled majesty, constructed between 1909 and 1912 by renowned shipbuilders Harland and Wolff in Belfast. At the time of her creation, she was the largest ship afloat. She had an overall length of 882.5 feet, and a gross tonnage of 46,328. 

Embark on a journey to the past and experience the grandeur of the Titanic! Owned and operated by White Star Line, the passenger’s vessel set sail on her historic maiden voyage from Southampton to New York on April 10, 1912. 

The RMS Titanic, constructed by Belfast-based shipbuilders Harland and Wolff between 1909 and 1912, was a sight to behold. At the time, it was the largest ship afloat and was the epitome of luxury and grandeur. During its sea trials, the Titanic was a sight to behold as it sailed over the waves with elegance and pride. 

The majestic Titanic, owned and operated by the White Star Line, set sail on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York on April 10, 1912. On board, passengers were able to enjoy a level of luxury that was previously unheard of. One of the highlights was the breathtaking pool, a stunning area where passengers could relax, unwind and take in the grandeur of their oceanic voyage. 

On the 15th of April 1912, the world was rocked by tragedy as the luxurious RMS Titanic, the pride of the White Star Line, tragically sank. After two and a half hours, the ship broke into two sections and sank to the bottom of the ocean floor, around a third of a mile apart. 

The Titanic has gone down in history as one of the most tragic shipwrecks of all time. On April 15, 1912, it met its fate when it collided with an iceberg in the North Atlantic, 350 nautical miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. 

The majestic Titanic embarked on an Atlantic voyage, with two brief stops en route – the first being in the French port of Cherbourg and the second in Cork Harbour, Ireland. Here, ferry boats conveyed passengers on and off the celebrated liner. 

It seemed like any regular night on the Titanic. However, a fateful event was about to take place. At 23:40 local time, the Titanic collided with an iceberg and six narrow openings were generated in the starboard hull, due to the rivets snapping. 

On April 10th, 1912, the majestic Titanic set sail from Southampton to New York, with stops at Cherbourg and Cork along the way. As the vessel glided through the ocean, Marconi Company radio officers on board the Titanic received multiple warnings about ice in the vicinity. 

At just before midnight on April 14, 1912, a fateful encounter with an iceberg changed the course of history. The RMS Titanic, on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, was struck and within three hours had sunk beneath the freezing Atlantic Ocean, claiming the lives of over 1,500 people. 

The magnificent Grand Staircase of the Titanic was a sight to behold. Built from English solid oak and accented with wrought iron, the glass domes above were designed to let in natural light. 

On the night of April 14th, 1912, lookout Frederick Fleet spotted an iceberg, ringing the ship’s bell in a warning. The massive ocean liner, the Titanic, changed direction but it was too late. The iceberg gauged a huge opening in the hull, causing the ship to sink beneath the waves within two-and-a-half hours. 

Engaging Text: Adolf Saalfeld was called a ‘first-class passenger’ on the Titanic, but the experience he encountered was anything but first-class. From the luxurious lunch of ‘soup, fillet of plaice, a loin chop with cauliflower and fried potatoes’ to the ‘pitiful cries’ as the ship sank, Saalfeld endured a range of emotions and experiences that stayed with him for the rest of his life. 

Harold Bride, born in 1890 in Nunhead, South-East London, was a Marconi Wireless operator before becoming a junior officer on the Titanic. Bride remembered how he didn’t feel the shock of the iceberg striking the ship, but heard a ‘terrible confusion’. After being ordered to send out a distress call by the captain, Bride was hauled into a lifeboat and survived the disaster. 

The Titanic was a true giant of the sea. When it first entered service, it was the biggest ship in the world, and it was the second of three Olympic-class vessels operated by the White Star Line. 

As the Titanic slowly sank into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, Captain Edward Smith went down with his ship. Ship steward Tom Whiteley, who had been hauled into a lifeboat, described the last moments of the majestic vessel as “just like a duck does that goes down for a dive”. 

Tom Whiteley, born in 1894, recalled the horrific night of the sinking of the Titanic. After being awoken at 11.30 pm to be told of the ship striking the iceberg, Whiteley witnessed the panicked minutes when the lifeboats went into the water and the ship’s officers drew their revolvers. 

Arthur Bancroft, a former Titanic steward, miraculously survived the tragedy that occurred on its maiden voyage in 1912. After filing a lawsuit against the White Star Line and being rescued by the Carpathia, he served in WWI and WWII, eventually becoming an actor in the film adaptation of Journey’s End. 

Born in 1880 near Ormskirk, West Lancashire, James Witter worked as a smoke room steward on the Titanic. Despite the disbelief of his passengers, Witter persistently warned them to ‘get up, she’s going down!’ before one of them ‘threw a boot’ at him. 

Algie Barkworth was born in 1864 and educated at Eton. When he booked his passage on the Titanic, he was expecting a pleasant trip. Little did he know that he’d soon be putting his swimming skills to good use. After hearing a ‘grinding sound’ and feeling the ship tremble, he was told the ship had hit an iceberg. 

On the evening of 10th April 1912, the Titanic left its berth at Dock Gate 4 in Southampton, beginning its fateful journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Algernon Barkworth was one of the lucky few who survived the disaster and went on to live a long life. 

Violet Jessop was born in October 1887 in Buenos Aires, Argentina and worked as a stewardess for the White Star Line. She was on board the Olympic when it collided with HMS Hawke and the Titanic when it hit an iceberg.
