A German U-Boat sank the British troopship killing more than 1,400 men on September 12, 1942. The commander of the German sub, Capt. Werner Hartenstein, realizing that Italian POWs were among the passengers, strove to aid in their rescue.

DESCRIPTION -- Set of 3 dominoes believed to be made for the White Star Line Shipping Company and all of the dominoes show a superb view of a liner embossed on the top. The image of the three funnelled ship is a generic design used by Spears games who manufactured them, and is based loosely on the Canadian Pacific ships "Empress of Asia" & "Empress of Russia". But they also read on the sides 'RMS TITANIC ' WHITE STAR LINE' over stamped across them. This was believed to be to remember the 50th anniversary of The Titanic's tragic loss in 1912.

HISTORY -- The Oceanic Steam Navigation Company or White Star Line of Boston Packets, more commonly known as the White Star Line, was a prominent British shipping company, today most famous for its ill-fated vessel, the RMS Titanic, and the World War I loss of Titanic's sister ship Britannic. In 1934 the line merged with its chief rival, Cunard Line, which operated as a separate entity until 2005 and is now part of Carnival Corporation & PLC. As a lasting reminder of the White Star Line, modern Cunard ships use the term White Star Service to describe the impeccable level of customer care expected of the company.
