  You may be on to something Kath, one does not become a ship owner overnight. The Ismay's seem to be the salt-of-the-earth types.
  
  We can all be a mite too pernickety where the Titanic is involved. I remember the guffaws of derision when the 'big' movie came out that it displayed all four funnels smoking, when as we all know the aft-most funnel was a store-room for deck furniture, but in the picture above #14 and on almost every occasion when the ship was depicted under steam, great efforts were made to make it seem that all four funnels were hard at it.
  
  There is one aspect of all this that is with us still. The Titanic had all the safety apparatus and life boats it was legally obliged to have. Tax-toyers please note.
