On the 100th anniversary of Titanic's sinking, a significant collection of letters was discovered hidden in a loft in Merseyside, England.
They were written by Chief Officer Henry Wilde, a lesser-known figure from Titanic’s storied history.
Dubbed "Harry" by his family, Henry Wilde occupied the authoritative position of second-in-command on the Titanic.
Despite his decisive role on the "Unsinkable" ship, Henry Wilde has remained an elusive figure until now.
His emotionally revealing letters, written to his brother and sister-in-law between 1894-1911, offer a rare glimpse into the private life of one of Titanic’s most tragic characters.
