white star line public perception?

[Pasopenguin2]

hey all,

wondering what are some good resources for learning specifically about public perception of the white star line prior to 1912, especially prior to the 1900s. with the disappearance of atlantic and the foundering of narnonic, how were people viewing the company? what was the pull for the medic, were they focusing more on her luxury or speed?

thanks

Before the Titanic disaster, the White Star Line was admired for its impressive fleet and focus on comfort, catering to the wealthier class of passengers. The company's ships were seen as modern marvels of engineering, prioritizing luxury over speed, which contrasted with its competitors like the Cunard Line, known for faster ships.
