International Mercantile Marine was a huge shipping trust formed in 1902 by
J.P. Morgan. This company controlled the White Star Line which constructed
three sister ships, the Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic, which are depicted
in the top nautical vignette. The lower vignette features a lady in a
nautical setting.
Each of these three ships was identical in size being 882 1/2 feet long and
92 1/2 feet wide.
The Titanic, which sank on its maiden voyage on April 15, 1912, after
striking an iceburg at 11:40 p.m. on April 14, 1912, is perhaps the most
famous ship of the 20th century.
