16 April 1912 / The Times Dispatch
The morning everything changed.
On April 16, 1912, The Times Dispatch in Richmond reported the sinking of the Titanic across its front page. Its estimates and eyewitness accounts preserve the uncertainty of a story still unfolding. A newspaper records what people knew at that moment, before later histories could put the pieces together.
