Black Star Line

lost building the ship and increasing competition the White Star Line was losing money faster than it could make it and thus white star lines built the new liner out of weak iron this is the first step in the disaster of the ship. As the Titanic was built White Star Lines was under extreme financial duress as they were losing a lot in immigrant transportation, at the time everyone wanted to go to America; mostly poor immigrants looking to get a piece of the “American dream”. This was incredibly crucial to ocean liners as immigrants trying to leave their poverty stricken lives were a rather weighty chunk of funds; even the wealthy first class passengers paled in comparison to the several hundred immigrants in the third class holds.

ultimately ends in a tragic way. The ship is stuck as any beached whale. Its own tonnage drives it down into the sand bank that kills the vessel. The love story is wonderfully written.
