The dust jacket of Vivian March’s A Murder in May introduces her account of the RMS Carinthia crossing. March was a passenger and interviewed others aboard, but her reconstruction is not an official I.R.I.S. account. The book’s inclusion in the archive does not endorse her conclusions.

The associated materials include a writing blotter photographed under angled light. March later reported on the Lion Rock Chamber opening.
