Chapter VII: AFTER THE TRAGEDY

the Titanic sank at 2.20a.m. on the morning of 15th April, 1912. Back in Dublin, Frank Browne's initial reaction to the news was one of relief. As in Montreal, New York and Boston, the Dublin evening newspapers carried a very inaccurate version of the story. The headlines in the evening Telegraph ran:

Collision with an iceberg
Women taking off by lifeboats

Titanic on her way to Halifax.
