Following the sinking of the Titanic, Marconi’s wireless telegraphy company was subject to criticism, as many believed the operators had withheld news from the public so they could sell information to the New York Times.

ABOUT THE FORTUNE FAMILY
The wealthy Fortune family embarked on a grand tour of Greece, Italy, France and the Middle East, before travelling aboard the RMS Titanic. The family enjoyed the vacation of a lifetime, and Mark Fortune’s daughter, Alice, even fell for her grand tour companion, William Sloper, whom she persuaded to change his ticket from the Mauritania to the Titanic.

When the iceberg hit the ship on 14th April 1912, the matriarch of the family, Mary, and her daughters reluctantly left the ship in lifeboat number ten. The sisters passed all their money onto their father and brother, Charlie, who both unfortunately did not survive the tragedy.
