MV Britannic (1929-1960) the last of the White Star Line (1845-1960) vessels had an illustrious pedigree. From a defunct packet company, it became one of the world's most prominent shipping companies providing services between the British Empire and the United States. In a deal made over a billiard table, White Star Line built six Oceanic Liners at Harland and Wolff, Belfast. The shipping company thrived by carrying prospectors to the Australian Gold Rush (1851) during which period the population quadrupled and Klondike Gold Rush (1896). White Star Line often made headlines for the wrong reasons. The company's investments in 1867 broke the lending bank. Sold for £1,000 the company's Albion House head office in Liverpool stands as the company's last monument. Several maritime disasters befell the company of which the worst was the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912. Britannic Waives the Rules recounts the first-hand experiences of the vessel's last crew and voyages before the liner was taken to the breaker's yard.
