White Star Line agent’s calendar

The company issued these desk calendars with twelve inserted cards, each featuring a different illustration of the company ships. This card depicts Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast where all the White Star Line ships were built. Each year agents were sent new batches of refills.

Titanic passenger Bertha Mulvihill said, ‘I went back to Ireland to attend the wedding of my sister, Kittie. I intended to stay over there longer, but one day last week… I passed the steamship company’s ticket office ...went in and bought my passage for America’.
