A CHILLING premonition of the Titanic disaster was written in a letter by a passenger on board the doomed liner that set sail from Southampton in 1912.
The remarkable letter has only now emerged, nearly 100 years after the ship's sinking.
A businessman named Alfred Rowe described the ship as "too big" and a "positive danger" in a letter home to his wife Constance.
The letter, on Titanic headed notepaper, has now been made available for auction by Mr Rowe's family.
It will be sold alongside a heart-rending diary account by his widow, written after she heard news of the sinking.
Full story in today's Daily Echo.
