The mystery of how a postcard sent by a Blackpool teenager aboard
the Titanic ended up in the hands of a wealthy American collector has
been solved.
Leonard Taylor was 18 when, in 1912, he landed a job as a crew member on the mighty
ship, dubbed the unsinkable, which set sail for America in 1912. He sent

Ireland, en route to New York.
A few days later, Leonard and 1,500
other passengers and crew perished when the ship hit an iceberg and
slid beneath the Atlantic.
