The transcribed text strives to be faithful to the original newspaper article and includes the original presentation's grammatical and historical errata (marked [sic]). Ships' names are not in italics. Most of these errors are minor. Some errata examples are as follows: Mont-Blanc's captain, Aime Le Medec, is written as Lemedec; Imo helmsman John Johansen as "Hohansen"; Imo's captain, Haakon From as "Fron"; A Romance of the Halifax Disaster by Frederick McKelvey Bell as "A Romance of the Halifax Explosion"; McKelvey as "McKelvie"; The British cruiser Highflyer as "Highflyers"; Llandovery Castle as "Landovery Castel". Following the disaster, $5,000,000 was received from Great Britain, not $50,000.
