At an antique shop, Mr. Pratt is selling a 1912 postcard for $800.
Mr. Pratt says“My great-grandma mailed it from New York in April 1912, the day she watched the Titanic steam into the harbor. It still has the original stamp.”
Why should the buyer walk away?
Hint: Think about how that voyage ended.
Answer
The Titanic never reached New York.
The Titanic sank in the Atlantic on its first voyage in April 1912, so nobody watched it arrive in New York.
Did you get it?
Nice work. On to the next one.
Got you this time. Try the next one.
