Abstract
3.5x5.5" undated postcard sent by Thomas William Jones, a Welsh seaman on the TITANIC who commanded Lifeboat 8. The card is to Clara Moulton, who he subsequently married in 1916. The card shows scenes in Southampton, the port from which he sailed on the TITANIC, and the ovals around the images are slightly raised for texture. Sent sometime after January 1912, and seems to have a reference to meeting with a solicitor for the company, so I suspect this was sent soon after the disaster.
