A PASSENGER on the doomed ship Titanic sent a postcard full of hope just days before he died.
Tea broker Richard William Smith wrote to a Mrs Olive Dakin, of Norwich.
Postmarked April 11, 1912, the card reads: "Have had a fine run around to Queenstown. Just leaving for the land of stars and stripes." It ends: "Hope you are all quite well at home.
