EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating autographed album page from the Harland and Wolff, Pirrie Carlisle archive, dated 8-11 December 1911, offers a unique glimpse into the social circle of the influential figures behind the planning, design, and building of the Olympic class liners. The page, which was likely kept at Witley Park, a large house in Godalming, Surrey, bears the signatures of three key figures: Edward Harland, G. J. Givan Sinclair, and Joseph Bell Gordon. Edward Harland and Gustav Wilhelm Wolff founded Harland and Wolff in Belfast in 1861, and the company went on to become a leading shipbuilder, renowned for constructing some of the most luxurious ocean liners of the early 20th century. Sinclair, a Scottish engineer, was a long-time collaborator of Harland and Wolff, and Gordon was a prominent member of the Anglo-Irish Society, which was made up of influential figures from both Ireland and Britain. The Olympic class liners, which included the RMS Titanic, were a groundbreaking achievement in transportation and travel. The liners were the largest and most luxurious ships of their time, and their construction was a significant event in the history of the shipping industry. This album page provides a rare and personal connection to this important period in maritime history. The signatures of these three influential figures offer a tangible link to the people behind the engineering marvels of the 1910s. The album page is a testament to the social and professional relationships that existed between these men, and the role they played in shaping the world of transport and travel.
