The "stand alone" White Star Line ceased to exist in 1934. The merged company of "Cunard White Star" ended in 1950 at which time Cunard dropped the White Star name and burgee from it's house flag and the company returned to the name, Cunard. Today Cunard still exists, but as an owned subsidiary of the Carnival Cruise Line Corporation. Harland and Wolff is very much still in business today in Belfast but no longer manufactures the big passenger ships.

The keel for Titanic was laid in March 1909, and her hull was launched May, 1911. She was then towed to a fitting out basin where her interiors were installed. She was completed in Feb 1912. So it basically took 3 years to build the Titanic.

Captain Smith earned about $72,500 per year (in today's standards) while a steward earned as little as $2400 per year. If you wanted to send a wireless message aboard Titanic, it would have cost you $3.12. If you wanted to play a game of squash, $.50. and use of the Turkish bath was $1.00. Joseph Bruce Ismay A- This is another question that is often asked.

The lowest fare for third-class passage was approximately $36.25 one way for a single person willing to share a cabin. In second-class, the starting price for similar travel terms was $66. First-class started at $125, but could escalate quickly depending on the size and d?cor of the room. The highest priced deluxe suite was priced at ?900, or $4,500.

You have to realize the time period in which Titanic was built. The gilded age was an era when new and wondrous things were happening every day. The Titanic's shear size gave an impression of invulnerability. Most people don't realize it, but the White Star line never actually claimed Titanic was unsinkable. This line was made popular by the press of the time, and maybe a few over-zealous shipyard workmen.

at least that's what we think, we're going to pull out the receipts and list a more exact answer to this question.

The first batch of LED modules(192) that I bought cost $2.50 each. The second batch (another 192) cost $1 each. The cost of the modules in total was $672. The FPGA with adapter which drives the panel is made for the company where I work. The one I'm using is an out-of-date revision so I didn't have to pay anything for it. (I think the cost to the company for one is around $500.

The LEP collider (both tunnel and machine) cost 1.3 thousand million Swiss francs. The investment was financed by 14 Member States over a period of 10 years. The experiments cost 480 million Swiss francs, with 140 million being paid by CERN. 340 million francs were paid by outside institutes and universities. The four LEP detectors are the fruit of worldwide collaborations bringing together not only European universities but also American, Russian, Chinese and Japanese institutions.

The total cost for the Memorial was $29.1 million. 10 million for the OUTDOOR SYMBOLIC MEMORIAL, 7 million for the Memorial Museum, 5 million for the Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism and the rest for various administration costs.

Unfortunately we do not know. The Fabric Rolls held in the Minster library detail the costs of various items, wages paid to people, and amounts spent on building. Many of the rolls have been lost over the centuries and so we do not have a complete set covering the 250 years in which the Minster was built. The Minster has one of the best collections of Stained glass in England. There are 128 windows, containing about 2 million individual pieces of glass.

Pretty darn well! After receiving 14 nominations, "Titanic" won 11 tying "Ben Hur" (1959) for the most Oscars for a single film. The winners are: It's kind of hard for us to remember that this euphoria and this success is for a film that's based on a real event that happened, where real people died, that shocked the world in 1912. I'd just like everybody to go with me for just a second.

The answer to this question depends on who you ask and what they're using. The smallest total you'll hear probably breaks down like this: And for the competition-oriented flyer who gets obsessed with the best and goes all-out, the cost might break down like this:

The cost was about 8,000,000 French Francs at the time of construction. Using the price of gold as a metric, this would correspond to about $US 35,000,000 in 2006.

Up until 2003, the historical cost of building construction and property improvements was neither readily available nor accessible. A recent major effort was undertaken to research and determine the estimated historical cost. The Capitol is a unique structure, as it has been built in successive phases over the past two centuries. The estimated historical cost of the United States Capitol as of fiscal year 2003 is $133 million.

Of course, each Eruv has its own specific cost; our initial cost was about $70,000 (in 1992 dollars) including all materials and labor. We needed many 20-24 foot 3-inch diameter, galvanized pipes to construct our "tzurot ha-pesach" along the Mass Pike and the MBTA train track (e.g., the Longwood Station area). This also required significant amount of excavation as well as substantial amounts of concrete.

The project cost was $181 million including the gift of the land from the Government of Ontario, valued at $31 million.

Not including the engines, the second hovercraft cost around $70. Both engines can be bought at garage sales or similar for around $50.

It cost $15 million to build the current jail. This does not include the cost of the subsequent additions.

October 31, 2005, the costs of building and completing the Stadium, the Sports Centre, the Velodrome (including its conversion into the Biodome) and the Olympic Village came to $1.5 billion.

Under admiralty law, the owner of a ship retains rights to its wreck, unless the owner abandons it or an unusually long period of time has passed since the vessel sank. In those situations (as was the case with the Titanic) an admiralty court can name another party "salvor in possession" of the wreck if that party lays claim to it by recovering objects from the site. To maintain its exclusive rights to the wreck, the salvor-in-possession must continue to actively work the wreck site.

First off, while it will probably cost more, it's only a few dollars more and you get the exact layout you want (most commercial sticks charge considerably more for customizations). Besides, none of the commercial sticks support rotary joysticks, none include a trackball (at this price point, and there are more reasonable ways to add one than what they do offer). None support dual spinners, or Star Wars yokes, or steering wheels, or two-button trigger sticks, etc.

A - No. It appears that no one from the White Star Line actually stated this officially. The press of 1912 reported the following after the disaster "...and they said she was unsinkable. Who was "they?" The nautical magazine Shipbuilder, while publishing articles about the engineering feats accomplished in building Titanic, wrote "With Titanic's transverse bulkheads and watertight doors, it renders this vessel practically unsinkable.

The Mersy Inquiry determined that there were 1,316 passsengers on board: 325 in first-class, 285 in second, and 706 in third-class. At the time of the sinking, the Ship's crew consisted of 885 men and women divided between three departments: Deck Department, 66; Engine Department, 325; Victualling (Passenger Care) Department, 494. Not included in this list are the eight members of the Ship's band who were technically from another company and traveled under second-class tickets.

White Star publicly announced their intention of building the Titanic in 1907 during the maiden voyage of RMS Lusitania, owned by their archrival the Cunard Line. This was done in an attempt to get some of the publicity being lavished on the Cunarder and draw attention to the new, larger Titanic, to follow five years later.

The White Star Line decided to build three identical ships, called "sister ships" from the one set of plans that Harland and Wolff was preparing. These ships were later given the names "Olympic", "Titanic", and "Britannic". It was common for steamship companies to build several ships from the same plans. A great deal of money could be saved this way since engineers only had to draw up one set of blueprints for the whole series of ships.
