RMS Titanic – The photograph shown here – which only came to light in 2001 – taken on Thursday April 11, 1912 at Crosshaven, Co Cork, Ireland, just after the vessel departed Queenstown, appears to be the last known authentic snap of RMS Titanic on the surface of the ocean. [297×491]
The last people to see the Titanic clearly may have been a party of French fishermen.
TITANIC SPLASHED ‘DANGEROUSLY NEAR’ TRAWLER
Our Boulogne correspondent writes that one of the last vessels to sight the Titanic was probably the Boulogne steamer trawler Alsace, which passed the liner on Thursday April 11 off the southwest coast of Ireland. The trawler appears to have been rather dangerously near the Titanic, passing so close in fact that she was splashed with spray from the Titanic’s bow. The fishermen cheered the liner, and their salutations were responded to by the officer on the bridge. – The Times, April 22, 1912, page 12

I once spoke to an old lady who saw it during sea trials of the Kintyre Coast of Scotland when she was a child. That was fairly interesting.
