    A letter allegedly penned by a survivor of the Titanic on 8 August, 1955 – more than 43 years after the disaster, has recently surfaced. It depicts the first hand-account of French maid, Rose Amelie Icard’s harrowing experience of the Titanic’s demise.

    The letter is still to be authenticated but it describes scenes of great heroism and utter horror in the final moments of the sinking vessel. Icard and employer, Martha Stone escaped the doomed passenger ship in a life boat, before being rescued by Carpathia the following day.

    Icard recounts how she and Stone were flung out of bed after a terrifying shock on 15 April 1912.

    We were intending to find out what was happening, when a passing officer told us ‘It is nothing, return to your cabin.’ I answered ‘Listen to that loud noise, it sounds like water is flowing into the ship,” Icard wrote.

    Icard was one of the 745 people who survived the tragedy, the remaining 2 229 passengers weren’t so lucky.
