The Seattle Post-Intelligencer... Largest Ship Afloat Strikes Iceberg and is reported Sinking. April 15, 1912.

Newspaper, folio sheets (16 1/2 x 21), 12 of 14 pages, illustrated, Vol. LXI., No. 153. Paper is browned and brittle, some chips at the edges and margins, probably removed, small label on first page, missing pages nine and ten, but article on the Titanic is complete and on the first page. This is one of the earlier newspaper accounts of the sinking of the Titanic. The article reports that the ship has struck an iceberg, and is reported sinking. It also reports that the women are being put off in lifeboats, and that the ship is 500 miles off Cape Race at 2 A.M. The report captures the drama of that moment by mentioning that signals from the ship stopped abruptly at 12:27 A.M., which was when the ship went down. Interestingly, this article also mentions the close call the Titanic had when it left Southampton earlier in that week and almost collided with the New York, which somehow got loose from its moorings as the Titanic departed.
