Welte Philharmonic Organ on the Titanic's sister ship? This is a Welte Philharmonic Organ from 1913 that was supposed to be on the Titanic's sister ship Britannic. It was never placed on board because of the outbreak of WWI. The organ's history was unknown when it was acquired in the 70's--But later a marking on it showed its history. http://bibliolore.org/2011/05/07/the-brittanic-organ/ I actually found this by coincidence while researching the Britannic for my report...But a Welte-Mignon organ on the Britannic?! Thank goodness the organ didn't go down with the ship!* *I respect all those who perished in the unfortunate loss of the Britannic. Just saying that the organ's loss would have been unfortunate as well.
