UK to issue stamps on 100th Anniversary of Titanic disaster.

Britain will launch a set of 10 stamp to mark the 100th anniversary of the Titanic disaster.


The mail area was one of the first places to flood after the ship struck an iceberg at 11.40 p.m. April 14, 1912. It had set sail from Southampton on its maiden voyage.

The 10 first class stamps of Royal Mail feature the story of the ill-fated cruise liner from its construction to the tragedy. The collection is also a tribute to five postal clerks - two Britons and three Americans who died when the ship sank.
