As part of the Orlando Sentinel’s 150th anniversary, we’re going through our archives and posting notable front pages we’ve published over the years.
Today we look at our Reporter-Star’s front page from April 16, 1912, with news of the sinking of the RMS Titanic. The ocean liner hit an iceberg in the early hours of April 15, resulting in the ship sinking on its maiden voyage and resulting the deaths of 1,500 passengers and crew.
See the front page below and read the stories here on Newspapers.com
