A set of two non-transmitted telegrams from survivors of the Titanic from the Carpathia to family members in New York. The first is from Harry Anderson to his wife. Message reads “Safe aboard Carpathia do not worry.” The second is from George Harder to his father Victor and reads “Dorothy and I arrive Carpathia both well answer us George.” Both messages are attached to Marconi International Marine Communication Company Ltd. form and stamped “Not Transmitted.” The large volume of requests has been cited for these telegrams not being sent. Anderson did eventually get a telegram sent to his wife assuring her of his safety. The newspapers of the day also indicate that Harder’s family received word he and his new wife were safe before they arrived in New York. Both are affixed to a single sheet of paper. 8 1/2 by 14 inches, overall Categories:
