Each issue's headline reflects the changing reports and are as follows: No. 57 "'All Women Saved from Wreck' Flashes Wireless"; No. 58 "Details of Titanic Disaster Withheld"; No. 59 "Titanic Crashed into Ice at Full Speed" with a small blurb below that which reads, "Dead placed at 1635"; and No. 60 "Titanic Rejected Aid." A fascinating collection of the news of the sinking of the Titanic, as related by the Oakland Tribune.
