Hello, I'd say he could've choosed a more accurate depiction of ismay, it wouldn't have impacted the jack and rose story I think, cameron could've kept the scenes ismay was in, he'd "just" have to change the dialogue and his behavior to be more accurate (per example during the conversation with...

Hello, Does anyone know what cabin Bruce Ismay had on his return voyage from New York to England aboard the Adriatic after the U.S. Inquiry? Was he just a "regular passenger" on that ship as he allegedly was on the Titanic? Also isn't it interesting that when he left aboard the Adriatic he sent...

Hello, reading about the sinking has gotten me curious about that. Did smith do that to keep ismay informed? Considering how many passengers seemed to think there was oging to be ice, I wonder if ismay wouldn't have guessed himself orknew without getting the warning Thanks for your answers!

Is there any validity to Jack Thayer's claim that Ismay's hair turned "virtually Snow White" on the Carpathia? In pictures it looks pretty dark so I feel like this isn't true but I was curious if anyone else ever mentioned it. I can't seem to find any other references besides Jack Thayer's book...

Hi! I'm from Russia, so I use an online translator. Anyway, a couple of years ago I put Bruce Ismay on one of the photos of the boats from the Titanic and now I decided to share it with the English-speaking community. The investigation was based on memories of the arrival of the collapsible C by...

I do not pretend to be an expert on the extracurricular activities of the Ismay family, but I don't think I've ever come across this before. 26 August 1903: Bruce Ismay and seventeen others (none of them of any significance for the purposes of this series) are appointed Justices of the Peace...

Hello, while looking through Mark Chirnside book "The olympic class- olympic, titanic, britannic", there's a part where it say bruce ismay made suggestion after olympic maiden voyage in regard to B deck, I wonder if it's identical or different to what titanic got, I think I'll have to add that...

J. Bruce Ismay’s life was changed in an instant. At 1:40 a.m. on April 15, 1912, sporting pajamas under a suit and topcoat, with slippers on his feet, the chairman of the White Star Line stepped into the last lifeboat to leave Titanic’s starboard side as it was being lowered to the icy waters...

Titanic mixes historical facts with a lot of fictional details, and among the characters based on real-life people is J. Bruce Ismay, who in the movie is portrayed as an ambitious man and a coward – but what happened to him after the Titanic sank and was he blamed for the tragedy...

Hello Im doing some research on the construction of the Titanic and I was having a hard time coming across how Bruce Ismay and Lord Wiliam James Pirrie's meeting came about in the first place to even begin talks on the Olympic class? If anyone knows or has a source Id truely appreciate it.

Hey all, Sorry if advance if this is a stupid question. If Ismay was traveling as an ordinary passenger, why did he travel with two secretaries? The valet makes sense, but two secretaries? What on earth could he have wanted them around for if he was just sailing to and from on a round trip? On...

I am asking for some assistance in identifying a White Star Line, Ismay & Imrie & Co. ship. The ship was number 318. Does anybody know how I can figure out which ship this was soley by the designation number 318? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank You! Bill

That is a difficult question, Cam. I am sure Mr. Andrews would have helped answer any questions regarding the rate of flooding caused by the damage to the ship. In addition, he did all he could to save passengers and crew that night. I do not like to guess at what might have been.

Hello, I recently came across some articles claiming Pirrie was the one who headed the deal between the White Star Line and the IMMC. It also suggested it was because Pirrie was skeptical of J. Bruce Ismay's capabilities as Chairman. This would align with a claim (I admittedly can't recall...

Hello, everybody. We all know that Bruce Ismay and Thomas Andrews were the masterminds behind the construction of the Titanic, and played a large role during the voyage and sinking of the Titanic, and how in the end, Thomas Andrews doing down with the ship, and Bruce Ismay survived in...

How old was J Bruce Ismay on board Titanic?

Just noticed that at the end of last year Wilton J. Oldham's 1961 history of the White Star Line and the Ismay family - "The Ismay Line" - received a UK re-print by publishers Chaplin Books, priced £9.99. At 283 pages, it does seem a little "thin" regarding the subject matter but apparently...

Somebody may have posted this info but I don't think so. Ismay's house (near Liverpool?) is for sale and the following site - http://www.newmind.co.uk/titanic/index.htm - has some great exterior and interior shots and various decriptions, including a short history of the house. If anybody is...
