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...

Mr JP Morgan connection with White Star Line?

I have read that the selfless, charitable, benevolent elderly gentleman J P Morgan was considering sailing on the maiden voyage of the Titanic but pulled out because he was too busy - no doubt with one of his many philanthropic ventures.

Here's an article that shows the power exerted by J P Morgan in November 1907. This guy had a way of getting what he wanted! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7050529.stm

Have recently been reading a biography of JP Morgan by Jean Strouse (which seems to be the most comprehensive of them all) and came across an interesting anecdote. Apparently, Titanic's future financier (who's knickname at that point was 'Jupiter') was a devoted White Star patron long...

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.

As I write this, in this part of the world there are still 21 minutes left of the 100th anniversary of the formal creation of the International Mercantile Marine Company, which owned the White Star Line from 1902 until 1926. These two articles appeared the next day. The various lists of names...

Hmmm...was galumphing about the 'net this evening when I stumbled blindly across this little jewel: http://www.nyyc.org/history/article_21/ It isn't much, and other than the link to JP it has little to do with the Big 'Un, but it's neat all the same. Yes, it seems Junius Pierpont Morgan...

Hi All, In a new biography "Ladies and Not-so-Gentle Women" by Alfred Allan Lewis (Viking,$38.95), which is a collective study of Elsie de Wolfe, Elisabeth Marbury, Anne Vanderbilt and Anne Morgan, there are some interesting tid-bits on the Titanic and J.P. Morgan, Anne's father. According...

What happened to the owner of the Titanic, J.P. Morgan ???

I know there was a suite reserved for JP Morgan, but did he ever actually travel on the Titanic? If he didn't what was the reason? My teacher and I are getting in this argument about this man. Please help me out on this one.

Someone told me that ther were some of the Hershey family on Titanic but I can't find them on the list. Does anybody know if that is true.
