EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print from Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd. showcases a selection of letters from the White Star Line's archives, specifically those exchanged between Wilton Oldham and Mrs Bower Ismay. The letters, dated between 1951 and 1955, relate to Oldham's research for his book, "The Ismay Line," which delved into the history of the White Star Line and its most infamous vessel, RMS Titanic. The letters, adorned with vintage stamps and envelopes, offer a glimpse into the meticulous research process of Oldham as he sought to uncover new information about the White Star Line and its key figures, including J. Bruce Ismay, the controversial survivor of the Titanic disaster. Mrs Bower Ismay, Bruce Ismay's sister-in-law, is the correspondent on the other end of these letters. Her typed responses, also included in the archive, shed light on her thoughts about Oldham's book and its accuracy. Unfortunately for Oldham, her opinions were less than flattering, expressing her displeasure with certain aspects of his research and interpretation of events. These letters offer a unique insight into the intricacies of historical research and the complexities of interpersonal dynamics, even in the context of maritime history. The White Star Line, RMS Titanic, and the Ismay family continue to captivate the public imagination, and this fascinating archive of letters serves as a testament to their enduring allure.
