WHITE STAR LINE SHIPS
You may notice that the same ship name appears more than once - some ships were named after a predecessor. Some vessels were acquired after the first world war one from Germany as war compensation and thus had previous names, other were acquired from other shipping companies and renamed or indeed sold on to be given different names again. You will also see references to the Red star line, Leyland line, Atlantic transport line and the Dominion line, these companies - along with the White star line were owned by J.P Morgan's 'International mercantile marine' (IMM) these shipping lines were used on joint services. |

SHIPS CHARTERED BY THE WHITE STAR
LINE
* Please note that I cannot help with
passenger or crew lists from any of the above vessels *
if you are looking for a specific vessel, it’s worth bearing in mind that prior to 1906 several ships could bear the same name, after this date the merchant shipping act was meant to be enforced, thus preventing the use of duplicate names on current vessels. However there were a few exceptions to this rule. |
The following sites are well worth a visit for information relating to immigrant ships and much more
