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 company’s focus today in on tankers, freighters and off-shore oil platforms. Artifact retrieval is one of the “hot” subjects in the Titanic world at the moment, expect to encounter many points of view!
