Atlantic (1929) was based on the sinking of the Titanic, but the name of the ship was changed because of lawsuits by the White Star Line. It was released in English, German and French sound versions, as well as a silent version
im gonna wear a white star line shirt to work
i dont have my vest yet so it wont be covered. its just a plain black shirt with the words "white star line" on it. its an old uniform from when i was in the titanic musical. for ppl who dont know, theyre the company that owned the titanic.
i know nobody will notice, but its at least something i can chuckle at, cuz i feel like a crew member of the titanic as it was sinking with how lowes have handled everything so far.
Shortly before the Titanic departed, American aristocrat J.P. Morgan withdrew his plans to go onto the voyage. Coincidentally, he owned the company that owned the White Star Line company, which constructed the Titanic. Did he ever speak on this? Did he ever detail why he decided not to go?
I’m watching the commentary on A Night to Remember with Don Lynch and Ken Marshall. They mentioned that the White Star Line company who manufactured the Titanic was owned by an American company, along with another popular shipping company at the time I believe. The American company that owned them both was apparently owned by J. P. Morgan.
This made me recall that in James Cameron’s Titanic’s special features, he mentioned that maybe around a week or so before the departure-I don’t recall exactly- that Morgan had withdrew plans to travel on the ship. Why?
(Btw, a side note this is where the fictional character Rose’s family’s stateroom was intended to have been by Cameron because it may have been empty during the voyage after Morgan cancelled...though its speculated that Bruce Ismay could have roomed there!)
Titanic was allegedly quite the social/cultural event especially for the aristocrats, having many popular millionaires of the time being on the ship.
I found this J.P. Morgan situation to be pretty odd...that the man who actually owned those companies and who was one of the most popular millionaires of the era didn’t go on the voyage?
Why did he skip out? Especially if he, in a technical way, literally may have owned the ship-or at least its company?
The White Star Line just couldn't win
I was camping in an international dark sky monument and happened to look up to see the star link satellites coasting by. (The thin horizontal white line in the center of the picture)
Got this game for chrimbas, and boy oh boy, I love it SO MUCH, this is the first time I see a white dwarf star, and now I'm legally blind... idk what the yellow line is, tho ._.

I toured the SS Nomadic while in Belfast. In June 1911 she began her tendering duties for the White Star Line. On 10 April 1912 she transported 274 passengers to RMS Titanic (which was to large for the Cherbourg Harbour) for the liner's maiden voyage. She’s the only White Star Line vessel left.
I created an homage to the White Star Line on a deck of cards. Just finished ordering it up. What do you think?

TIL White Star Line, the company widely known for the Titanic had at least 5 other disasters with other boats. This includes another flagship hit by an iceberg, a navigation disaster that led to one of their ships sinking on her maiden voyage, & the disappearance of a massive cargo ship.

Why I thought that this ship will be torpedoed or hit the Iceberg? This ship is mix of Lusitania and Titanic: lines of Lusitania and White Star Funnels...
Flag of Nauru, The blue field is representative of the surrounding Pacific Ocean, and the clear blue sky. The bold yellow line is symbolic of the Equator, and note that Nauru is located just below the Equator. The white star is symbolic of the 12 tribes of Nauru.
Is the book The History of The White Star Line good?
Is it good and well written, will it teach me about the ships and the architecture and the luxury of the ships?
Season 8 was like a certain luxurious ship that sunk because of the hubris of its owners and captain. D&D skipping Comic-Con is like that White Star Line guy who pretended to be a woman to get on a lifeboat.

Star Wars and Snow White are iconic movies with memorable lines that we all went around repeating but now the lines have changed? Mind blown.

The White Star Line lost 2 of their 3 flagship ocean liners in the course of 3 years (RMS Titanic and HMHS Britannic), yet were still in business well into the 1930's. How did the company survive such a massive loss of investment with the sinking of two of their most expensive building projects?
TDIH: Thomas Henry Ismay, born January 7, 1837, was the founder of the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, more commonly known as the White Star Line. His son was Joseph Bruce Ismay, who travelled on (and survived) the maiden voyage of his company's ocean liner, the RMS Titanic, in 1912.

American here. This pic is my great-grandparents in Belfast. He worked at the White Star Line but died of pneumonia and his wife and daughter (my grandmother) came to America on the ship he helped build. Pic circa 1902.
