EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image features a Relief Fund cheque issued by the White Star Line to Mrs. K Jenkins on April 28, 1917, for the sum of ten shillings. The recipient was likely the mother of second-class passenger, Stephen Curnow Jenkin, who tragically lost his life during the sinking of the RMS Titanic on April 15, 1912. The cheque, now a historical artifact, serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of the maritime disaster. During the aftermath of the Titanic's sinking, various relief funds were established to provide financial assistance to the families of the victims. The White Star Line, the shipping company that operated the Titanic, established its own relief fund to provide compensation to the next of kin of those who perished in the disaster. The cheque, signed by an official of the Exeter and County Bank, bears the White Star Line's logo and the name of the fund. The ten shillings represented a small but meaningful gesture of support during a time of great need. The 1910s were a period of significant change in the world of transportation and finance, with the Titanic disaster being a tragic reminder of the human cost of progress. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the compassionate response to a devastating tragedy and the enduring impact of the Titanic on the world.
