Six luggage labels in one plastic bag, overall: 5 in. x 7 3/4 in. (12.7 cm x 19.7 cm)

Exemplifying the dark humor that underpinned many of the SMS contributions, Nancy Reitkopf designed luggage labels from some of the most disasters in history. In addition to the well known Titanic and Hindenburg, Reitkopf also references the Luisitania—sunk by German submarine during WWI—and the Andrea Dorea, a major cruise ship that sank in 1956. In the context of the other well-known events, her reference to the “Calvary Motor Inn” remains a mystery.
