OCLC 298597975.The arrival of the two new liners created a surplus of ships on the North Atlantic route for the White Star Line. At the same time, George Bradbury, president of the Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company, a company formed in 1874 to compete with the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, enlisted the help of Thomas Ismay in setting up his new service. The White Star Line responded by lending the new company Oceanic, which had become surplus to requirements, as well as the more modest Gaelic and Belgic. [48] This charter initiative proved profitable, with Oceanic remaining on the San Francisco – Hong Kong route for twenty years. [49] New ships were gradually assigned to this contract in the 1880s, such as Arabic in 1881, [50] and the new Belgic (1885) and Gaelic (1885) in 1885. [51] The partnership continued until 1906, when White Star withdrew Coptic from the Pacific route. The Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company disappeared two years later in the face of competition from the new ships of the Pacific Mail Company. [52] The diversification of the company's activities also required an evolution of its equipment. While the sailing ships gradually disappeared, the company acquired a new type of cargo ship, intended for the transport of live cattle. [56] The first of these was Cufic, which entered service in 1888, followed a year later by Runic. [57] Others followed in the 1890s, notably the sister ships Bovic and Naronic. [58] The latter became famous when, less than a year after its maiden voyage, it mysteriously disappeared with everyone aboard. [59] Two other cattle carriers, Cevic and Georgic, were built in 1894 and 1895 respectively, before the company abandoned this type of business.

After the Troubles and Good Friday Agreement, the number of overseas tourists visiting Northern Ireland increased. [309] It was subsequently identified in the Northern Ireland Tourism Board's Strategic Framework for Action 2004–2007 that the significance of and interest in Titanic globally (partly due to the 1997 film Titanic) was not being fully exploited as a tourist attraction. [310] Thus, Titanic Belfast was spearheaded, along with some smaller projects, such as a Titanic memorial. [311] Titanic Belfast will reopen its doors to visitors on Saturday following a multi-million pound refurbishment.Titanic had been scheduled for a 20 April departure, seen in a New York Times ad apparently unable to be pulled, overnight, before this 15 April printing. [178] Retrieval and burial of the dead Markers of Titanic victims, Fairview Cemetery, Halifax, Nova Scotia The team discovered that Titanic had in fact split apart, probably near or at the surface, before sinking to the seabed. The separated bow and stern sections lie about a third of a mile (0.6km) apart in Titanic Canyon off the coast of Newfoundland. They are located 13.2 miles (21.2km) from the inaccurate coordinates given by Titanic 's radio operators on the night of her sinking, [258] and approximately 715 miles (1,151km) from Halifax and 1,250 miles (2,012km) from New York. While Harland & Wolff started construction of the new Olympic class, White Star continued to diversify its activities. Its establishment in Southampton led to a price war between companies, which drastically reduced its third-class fares. It was at this point that the North Atlantic Conference was created to regulate fares and crossings according to demand. [97] In 1909, White Star took over part of the activities of the Dominion Line, another IMM company serving Canada. Two of this company's ships, then under construction, were transferred to White Star and became Laurentic and Megantic, bringing the company into the Canadian route. These two ships also served as a testing ground for the propulsion method of the Olympic-class liners. [102] The visitor attraction has added four new galleries to the Titanic experience including new artefacts and a 7.6m scale model of the ship that is suspended from the ceiling and fully rotates.
