Ismay Billiard Room Apartment - Titanic Interest

About this property

The Beach Lawn House was originally built in 1860 for Mr Thomas Henry Ismay founder of the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, more commonly known as the White Star Line. His son Bruce Ismay lived at the house until he was 13 , he eventually took over the running of the White Star line when his father retired. After commissioning the build of RMS Titanic, in 1912, he came to international attention as the highest-ranking White Star official to survive the sinking of the ship for which he was subject to severe criticism. The Ismay Billiard Room Apartment used to be the wing of the house that was once the Original Billiard Room for the Ismay family. Step back in time into this luxury abode.
