Oh yes, definitely - the White Star Line was a famous line! (The Titanic) Google for it.I just did a google search for The Majestic White Star line and there are dozens of items about it and photos. The three luxury liners depicted in the illustration below, R.M.S. Majestic, R.M.S. Olympic, and R.M.S. Homeric, belonged to Britain's White Star Line and sailed together from approximately 1922 (the year which marked the maiden voyages of both ``Homeric' and ``Majestic') until 1935, the year the oldest ship, ``Olympic,' (sister ship of ``Titanic', completed in 1911), was retired from service. These three massive steamers crossed the North Atlantic from Southampton, Great Britain to New York City, stopping in Cherbourg, France. |

I've just had a quick look at the new Ancestry offer of the listings of passengers to America etc and have found one of mine, going back and forth from Southampton to New York as an AB seaman. He is a storekeeper, an AB and a lamptrimmer. Would he have been part of the Merchant Navy ? Thanks |
