Post-Titanic

After the Titanic sank, changes were made to the designs of upcoming ships to make them safer including more lifeboats.  This advertisement from 1913 depicts the changes made to the Titanic's older twin sister ship, Olympic.  She was taken out of service and more lifeboats were added along with a thicker hull and higher bulkheads.  

White Star Line Crystal

This White Star Line glass is very rare and very tiny.  It was primarily used for sherry on board.
