··· IMAGE ···
An original poster from Poster's Garage - The image taken from a 120+ year old postcard I found at a flea market. Can you just imagine someone picking this out from a shop, writing their message on the front (times have changed!), and mailing it off to a land far away? I actually found a few similar images that make a great set and they're all available in my shop! There is so much character in the image itself, not to mention the fonts, the handwriting, & the wear.
··· HISTORY ···
The SS Vaderland was an ocean liner launched in July 1900 for the Red Star Line service between Antwerp and New York. After the beginning of the First World War, Vaderland was converted to a troopship, ferrying troops of the Canadian Expeditionary Force from Halifax to Liverpool. In September 1915, the liner was torpedoed in the Aegean Sea by German submarine UB-14 with the loss of 40 men. The ship was beached, repaired, and returned to service in August 1916. While in service between the United Kingdom and Canada on 4 June 1917, she was torpedoed a second time, this time by U-70; and was sunk off the coast of Ireland with the loss of four lives.
