A picture of Albion House

Albion House in Liverpool. Formerly the White Star Line building T.H.Ismay founded the shipping line in 1869 & all the ships names ended in "ic" as in "Majastic", "Olympic" etc the most famous being the "Titanic" which sank in 1912 with a loss of nearly 1500 people. The building was surrounded by an anxious crowd seeking information and the White Star Line officials had to shout down the news from the balconies above.
