Letter from the Past - Titanic

Guardian: Reports on the auction of a letter from RMS Titanic, letter came from a First Class passenger that survived the sinking in 1912. Its historical importance comes from the fact that it was posted while the ship was in UK waters, then Ireland. One always has to wonder if you had been a passenger on the stricken liner, would you have been heroic, coward or the middle bit, scared and dead.
