Titanic
Origins and construction In the early 1900s the transatlantic passenger trade was highly profitable and competitive, with ship lines vying to transport wealthy travelers and immigrants. Two of the chief lines were White Star and Cunard. By the summer of 1907, Cunard seemed poised to increase its share of the market with the debut of two new ships, the Lusitania and the Mauretania, which were scheduled to enter service later that year. The two passenger liners were garnering much attention for their expected speed; both would later set speed records crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Looking to answer his rival, White Star chairman J. Bruce Ismay reportedly met with William Pirrie, who controlled the Belfast shipbuilding firm Harland and Wolff, which constructed most of White Star’s vessels. The two men devised a plan to build a class of large liners that would be known for their comfort instead of their speed. It was eventually decided that three vessels would be constructed: the Olympic, the Titanic, and the Britannic.

Beauvoir In Biloxi Mississippi
On the gulf coast of Mississippi sits a piece of history that is not well known. When I moved to Mississippi as a junior in high school, I knew from history class what the civil war was, a war to end slavery. I didn’t know that the home of the president of the confederacy laid not far from our first apartment. On a trip to visit this historical place, I learned more about this man who quietly made history by standing up for what he believed. He worried about the rights of the states and at the end of the day, I learned that the civil war balanced on the rights of each state to change the course of their path, not a central all-controlling federal government. I also learned that the dynamics of the Civil War wasn’t slavery, though this was a component. Not to go into perceptions and interpretations of the past we know what is written and saved not actually what was happening at the time history was made. We are here to take a short little trip to Beauvoir and see what life was like in the 1800s
