One Letter Among 700
The love letter was among 700 other envelopes in the shipwreck, three miles down. Amazingly, the hand-written love note has been recovered with all the other letters from the wreckage of the steam-powered cargo ship.
After a feature on BBC’s The One Show was aired, Phyllis was visited by a representative of the London Postal Museum and given copies of Bill’s letter. And as you can imagine, she couldn’t believe her eyes. She said, “I can’t believe the letter was at the bottom of the sea and now I can read it.” And their story is incredible.
