Transcription: The White Star line flourishes with the International Mercantile Marines backing. One year after the purchase, J.P. Morgan offers White Star's director, J. Bruce Ismay, the position of Managing Director and President of I.M.M. and its subsidiaries. As the son of Thomas Henry Ismay, Bruce had taken charge of White Star four years earlier and impressed Morgan with his abilities and vision.
