A somewhat enlarged image can be found at the only work, attributed to this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog (yesterday). Again, it is a slightly cropped image. A full, larger image can be found here.Fresh Rolls is privately owned.But, in 1882 (the date is correct), George Hand Wright turned 10.I think it was painted by George W. Wright, the George Wright who painted this.Its signature at lower left of its click-to-enlarge image is very similar to this painting (roughly same location, 1st paragraph image links); nothing like George Hand Wright’s signature). George W. Wright currently has no Wikipedia page.First work, by either artist, to appear here.P.S. After I contacted them, this website changed the attribution to George W. Wright. Mr. Melcher simply changed it to George Wright in the blog entry (why the earlier only link shows nothing).
Number SixEven worse, they were omitted because they would have made the promenade deck too narrow for the rich to have their strolls. When the sinking started, second class and stearage passengers were locked below decks to drown and many of the too few lifeboats pulled away unfilled. An allegory of the US economy today?
Number SixThe Californian ignored the SOS because they never heard it. They shut down their radio shack earlier because the Titanic demanded they do so in order for their passengers to send their stock market bets. This was the days of spark gap radio transmission, which had no frequency channels, broadcasting on the whole spectrum simultaneously.

It would be awkward timing for brunch since the ship hit the iceberg a little before midnight and sank before 2:30 am.

Actually, I think they were leaning a little too heavily on the port !
Sorry, it was a photographer’s directional view. Their port is my starboard. Is it stage left , or stage right ?
