HISTORY -- The Titanic disaster isn't what ended the White Star Line, but it pretty much put an end to White Star Line Chairman, J. Bruce Ismay. Ismay was highly ridiculed by both the press and the public for surviving the disaster. The press felt Ismay, being president of the White Star Line, should have gone down with the ship as Captain Smith did. One newspaper even dubbed him "J. (Brute) Ismay." Several 1912 newspapers suggested (as some recent motion pictures have) that Ismay overrode Captain Smith's orders en-route, and ordered full speed, knowing there was ice in the area in an attempt to beat the Olympic's Atlantic crossing record. There is no hard evidence however, to support this theory.

HISTORY -- The White Star Line was originally founded back in the 1850's. At that time, it consisted of sailing vessels travelling trade routes centred on Australian goldfields. Then, in 1867, White Star was purchased by Thomas Henry Ismay who was Bruce Ismay's father. At this time, White Star began to focus its efforts on the ever growing Atlantic Passenger routes.

HISTORY -- The White Star Line was bought by Thomas Ismay in 1868. His son, Bruce, took over as company director in 1899 when Thomas died. White Star was one of the first shipping lines to offer Third Class accommodation, in addition to First and Second Class. Rather than compete with the smaller and faster liners belonging to its main rival, Cunard, White Star committed to comfort and reliability, rather than to speed. This was demonstrated in its three Olympic-class liners, Olympic, Titanic and Britannic, built by the Belfast shipyard of Harland & Wolff.
