The 'iceberg that sunk the Titanic': Looming mound of ice pictured by captain of passing ship


A remarkable photograph showing the 'iceberg that sank the Titanic' has surfaced 108 years after the historic disaster that claimed more than 1,500 lives. He wrote: 'I am sending you a sea picture, the Etonian running before a gale and the iceberg that sank the Titanic. He wrote a caption in black ink on the accompanying photo, noting 'iceberg taken by Captain Wood SS Etonian in 41°50N 49°50W April 12th at 4pm.' 'But the letter from Captain Wood adds far more weight to this iceberg being the one. 'It was pure luck that Captain Wood took the photo when he did.'
