Landing Card

Shortly before arrival in New York, each surving passenger was issued a landing card with the words Carpathia Ex. Titanic filled in. Many of these have surfaced over the years because survivors kept them as souvenirs. This one was owned by Lillian Bentham, a nineteen-year-old form the Channel Islands who has immigrating to America. She died in Rochester, New York, in 1977.
