The White Star Historical Society is dedicated to researching and documenting the complete history of the White Star Line, from its founding in 1845 through to its merger with Cunard in 1934. Based in Chicago, the Society draws members from across North America and beyond who share a passion for one of the most storied names in maritime history.
The Society's focus encompasses the full breadth of the White Star fleet — not only the famous Olympic-class trio of Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic, but the dozens of other remarkable vessels that served under the distinctive red-and-white pennant across nearly a century of ocean travel. Its publications and research resources provide a valuable reference for historians and enthusiasts alike.
Through its partnership with the Historic Ships Network, the White Star Historical Society contributes to the wider preservation of the golden age of ocean travel.
