   • J. Bruce Ismay inherited his father’s job. Ismay rose to one of the most powerful positions in transatlantic travel thanks to his father, who purchased a bankrupt White Star Line in 1868 and built it into the boating behemoth it became by the end of the century.
   • He and his brother married sisters. In 1888, Ismay married into a wealthy and prestigious New York family when he took Florence Schieffelin as his wife.
   • Ismay was mistakenly thought to have insulted members of the U.S. Congress. In 1889, Ismay was caught up in a media scandal following the (otherwise successful) maiden voyage of another White Star liner, the Teutonic.
   • Ismay didn’t reduce the number of Titanic’s lifeboats, but he did care about the ship’s appearance. An oft-repeated story meant to illustrate the vanity and villainy of J. Bruce Ismay suggests that, against the wishes of the ship’s architect, he reduced the number of lifeboats Titanic carried because it made the deck appear too cluttered.
