Honor code .....yes

your right bell back then it was all on that honor code but u bring up a piont why they wouldn't had dared to sink one them on propus ok lets look at it like this white star is in trouble we all know they were but they still had a good name for saftey but when the titanic sunk that name went out the window and it put money into their rivals pocket and they lost ticket sales after the titanic sunk so i just don't see what they would have to gain form sinking her

Morgan probably did bail them out, morgan thats a worry , thats a worry

Yeah, but the culture in America and increasingly in Britain is to seek damages from anything you can, It was't like that then. However I don't know how white star paid compensation, if any.

I don't know if morgan bailed them out, but he did put up the money for the 3 ships

You raise good points,

Good day, Bell

yeah i thought so too mate

i thought that jp morgan had bailed out white star plus u would think that smith would have held the life boat drills that day the law suits alone is what put them under. plus most of the frist class pasngers were the worlds most powerful in the world at that time they had to much rideing on there name and the titanic to sink her plus name one time u ever got what something was worth from the ins in all my cases i lost money not gained any lol

Well for what $1 was worth it's a lot, but am not sure who inflation has changed that figure, I expect there will be a difference.

$1 thats cheap , but dear for those days

A knew it was a lot of money but a dont think it was that much.

A mean the most expensice sweet on the QM2 is't that much

To go to the turkish bath would cost $1. Am not sure what that is in todays money.

If they sunk Olympic deliberatley it would be because that after the hawke innsodent, Olympic was un insurable, white star where in financhial problems so an insurance scam would be there way out.

Remember the 3 ships where built to save the company

i just don't see why they would have sank one of them they would have made more money with both of them still in operation remember for a frist class ticket it was over a 100,000dollors and in todays standers that would be about a mil and just for the frist class not saying the secound and third class plus if they had planed to sink her smith would have held the life boat drills on that day ?
