    The Ismay/Pirrie dinner

    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.

    Question Pirrie's role and motivations in the IMMC deal?

    Olympic Launch Photo of Morgan and Pirrie

    Hi! This photo was identified as 'J. P. Morgan' and Lord Pirrie attending Olympic's launch in 1910. Has anyone seen it before, and if so do the two men appear to be identified correctly? After all the misidentifications on Titanic photos, you never know! Best wishes, Mark.

    Well, I now understand that Mr. Andrews is the nephew of Lord Pirrie, but, why was it that this has never been mentioned? Besides, Andrews died at 39, so how old was Lord Pirrie? - Smith [email protected]
