A card found in the wreck of the SS Gairsoppa in 2011.

This beautiful, vivid blue Season’s greetings card was sent by Jack Alleman of the Catholic Mission in Patna to Mrs Lohrum in Los Angeles. The accompanying typed letter is no longer legible, but the printed message in the card reads: ‘All joy be yours this Christmas Day, And not today alone, But every day of the Coming Year, Be Happiness your own.’
