Welcome to the Ismay Family website

  You will find information here about the lives of people who made the WHITE STAR LINE the great shipping              company that it was. You can learn about the lives of Thomas Henry Ismay, J Bruce Ismay and others. A detailed  account of the Titanic's maiden voyage is included. You can also read letters not previously published on any other  website, some of which undoubtedly led to the formation of the successful 'White star line', and much more.

 But it does not stop there, this site looks at the times before and after the days of the White Star Line, and is unique  because the information here has been mostly compiled by the Ismay Family!

 For the benefit of those who are only interested in the subject of the 'White Star Line' I have included  a main link bar. Many other pages on that subject can be accessed form there.

 The contents page gives you access to all pages on this site, including a brief account of what you can expect to find on  that page.

 Thomas Henry Ismay was best known for the White Star Line, and of course the Titanic. Thomas's business interests did  not stop there, he also owned several insurance companies and had interests in the G.E.C. (General Electric Company), he also had financial interests in the rail network.
