271	R.M.S. TITANIC: A SECOND CLASS TITANIC PASSENGER LIST, 20 PAGES INCLUDING COVERS. THE LIST ALSO CONTAINS INFORMATION FOR PASSENGERS AND A WHITE STAR LINE SAILING SCHEDULE FOR TITANIC, OLYMPIC AND OCEANIC WITH OCEANIC'S SCHEDULED APRIL 17th 1912, SAILING REDACTED IN RED INK. THE PAGES ARE EXTREMELY CLEAN AS ARE THE COVERS. THE FRONT COVER CONTAINS AN INK NOTATION OF TITANIC'S MAIDEN VOYAGE. THERE ARE NO LOOSE OR MISSING PAGES AND THE BINDING IS TIGHT. TITANIC PASSENGER LISTS ARE VERY SCARCE AND EXTREMELY DESIRABLE. THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE FOR THE SECOND CLASS PASSENGER LIST PROBABLY OWING TO THE FACT THAT THERE WERE FEWER SECOND CLASS PASSENGERS AND, THUS, FEWER LISTS PRINTED. IT IS UNLIKELY THAT ONE WILL SEE ANOTHER SECOND CLASS TITANIC PASSENGER LIST IN A MORE UNSULLIED AND DISPLAYABLE CONDITION. 7.5/16ins. x 4.7/8ins. (18.5cms x 12.5cms).	Nil
272	R.M.S. TITANIC/S.S. LAPLAND: ON BOARD LETTER DURING RETURN VOYAGE. HANDWRITTEN LETTER TWO SIDED ON ONBOARD S.S.

ON OVERSIZED PAPER, ONE SHEET, TYPED SINGLE SPACED, TO TITANIC SURVIVOR EDWINA TROUT-CORRIGAN FROM ELLEN MILLING, THE DAUGHTER OF SECOND CLASS PASSENGER JACOB CHRISTIAN MILLING, WHO PERISHED. UNDATED, THE LETTER MAKES REFERENCE TO CORRESPONDENCE THE FAMILIES HAD IN 1912 AND 1913. THE LETTER SPEAKS OF THE MILLING NAME AS WELL AS JACOB MILLING'S EXPERIENCE ON TITANIC. Ms. MILLING ASKS NUMEROUS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SINKING AND INQUIRES WHETHER HER FATHER HAD ATTENDED A SUNDAY EVENING PRAYER SERVICE.

HE MUST HAVE BEEN ON THE SHIP UNTIL THE LAST MOMENT BECAUSE THE WATCH HE HAD ON (AND WHICH WAS SENT TO US) HAD STOPPED AT 2:40, AND THE SHIP FOUNDERED AT 2:20..." NB.

DECK" AND "1st STATEROOM. 1 TO 40 (sic)" AND A BILL MADE TO "J. STONE". THE PAWN TICKET WAS UNDOUBTEDLY REDEEMED BY STONE'S WIDOW. FURTHER DOCUMENTION ACCOMPANYING THE BODY, WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THIS ARCHIVE, ALSO LISTS A PORTION OF A MEMORANDUM TO STONE FROM THE P. & O. STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY DATED 2nd FEBRUARY 1912. THE LOTS WHICH FOLLOW ARE ARGUABLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ARCHIVE OF TITANIC RELATED EFFECTS TO EVER BE OFFERED FOR SALE. R.M.S. TITANIC: A LETTER APPROX. 7.3/4ins. x 9.3/4ins. (19.5cm x 25cm), ON WHITE STAR LINE LETTERHEAD WITH BURGEE, HEADED TRAFALGAR CHAMBERS SOUTHAMPTON AND DATED MAY 23, 1912. FROM VICTUALLING SUPERINTENDENT J. BARTHOLOMEW ADDRESSED TO MRS. E.

277	R.M.S. TITANIC FIRST CLASS BEDROOM STEWARD EDMUND J. STONE COLLECTION: WHITE STAR LINE COMPANY KEY AND RING WITH BRASS TAG STAMPED 1st CL.ST.RMS. E1 TO E42. THIS WAS THE MASTER KEY TO TITANIC'S STATE ROOMS E1 TO E42. SOME OF THE MORE NOTABLE PASSENGERS WHO OCCUPIED THESE STATE ROOMS INCLUDE LAURA FRANCATELLI (E36), FRANCIS MILLET (E38) AND THE SPEDDEN FAMILY (E34, E40). IT IS MOST LIKELY THAT STONE WOULD HAVE USED THIS KEY TO ENTER THE STATE ROOMS UNDER HIS WATCH TO ENSURE THAT ALL ITS OCCUPANTS HAD BEEN EVACUATED TO SAFETY AFTER THE COLLISION WITH THE ICEBERG.	Nil
278	R.M.S. TITANIC FIRST CLASS BEDROOM STEWARD EDMUND J. STONE COLLECTION: A BUFF COLOURED PEN KNIFE, APPROX. 3.3/4ins. x .3/4ins., WITH BOTH BLADES RUSTED SHUT, OBVIOUSLY OWING TO ITS SUBMERSION IN SALT WATER FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THIS KNIFE IS LISTED ON THE OFFICIAL LIST OF EFFECTS IN HALIFAX.	Nil

THIS WAS RECOVERED FROM STONE'S BODY AND IS LISTED ON THE OFFICIAL BODY EFFECTS LOST IN HALIFAX. A PEN OR PENCIL WAS A PRIMARY TOOL OF TRADE FOR A SHIP'S STEWARD. AS THIS PENCIL IS WELL USED, WE CAN LOGICALLY ASSUME THAT STONE HAD USED IT FROM TIME TO TIME TO TAKE NOTES AND RECORD THE WISHES OF THE PASSENGERS WHO OCCUPIED THE STATE ROOMS ON E. DECK. AS FAR AS IS KNOWN STONE, HIMSELF, MAY HAVE BEEN THE LAST TO USE IT.	Nil
280	R.M.S. TITANIC FIRST CLASS BEDROOM STEWARD EDMUND J. STONE COLLECTION: A GENTLEMAN'S POCKET WATCH, MANUFACTURED BY ROBINSON & Co. OF SINGAPORE, AND ITS ACCOMPANYING FOB CHAIN WITH FITTINGS.

THE BAG CONTAINS PART OF A RED WAX SEAL WHICH WAS USED TO ATTACH AN OHMS LABEL CONTAINING THE OTHER PORTION OF THE WAX AND LEAD SEAL.

THE REVERSE OF THE LABEL CONTAINS, IN PART, A HANDWRITTEN LIST OF CONTENTS COMPRISED OF EFFECTS FOUND ON THE BODY. THIS LIST WAS MOST LIKELY PREPARED IN HALIFAX WHEN THE EFFECTS WERE INVENTORIED THERE.`	Nil

STONE AND "DONGOLA". MILLER & SONS WERE WELL KNOWN OUTFITTERS OF UNIFORMS FOR WHITE STAR LINE. THROUGH MANY SUBSEQUENT ACQUISITIONS AND MERGERS THE COMPANY ONLY RECENTLY CEASED OPERATIONS FOR GOOD. AS THIS RECEIPT WAS RECOVERED FROM STONE'S BODY AND IS LISTED ON THE OFFICIAL BODY EFFECTS LIST IN HALIFAX, AS WELL AS THE OTHER LISTS CONTAINED IN THIS ARCHIVE, IT LOGICALLY POINTS TO THIS RECEIPT BEING FOR HIS UNIFORM WORN ON TITANIC.	Nil
285	R.M.S. TITANIC FIRST CLASS BEDROOM STEWARD EDMUND J. STONE COLLECTION: A PORTION OF A MEMORANDUM TO STONE FROM THE P. & O. STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY DATED 2nd FEBRUARY 1912. IT WOULD APPEAR FROM THIS MEMORANDUM THAT STONE HAD BEEN SEEKING EMPLOYMENT WITH THAT COMPANY. ALTHOUGH THE MEMORANDUM DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE OFFICIAL LIST OF EFFECTS PREPARED IN HALIFAX, IT WAS CERTAINLY ON STONE'S BODY AS THERE IS A NOTATION ON THE ENVELOPE (SEE PRIOR LOT) THAT THE MEMORANDUM WAS BEING RETURNED WITH STONE'S OTHER EFFECTS. THE REST OF THE MEMORANDUM MIGHT HAVE BEEN LOST DUE TO WATER DAMAGE AS EVEN THE PART THAT REMAINS IS IN DISTRESSED CONDITION, THOUGH LEGIBLE. P. & O.
