Based in Wallsend, Tyne and Wear, the company is responsible for some of the greatest ships of the early 20th century — most famously, the RMS Mauretania which held the Blue Riband for the fastest crossing of the Atlantic, and the RMS Carpathia which rescued the survivors from the RMS Titanic.
Their bid was successful, and the new company, Swan Hunter and Wigham Richardson Ltd, went on to build what was to become, in its day, the most famous ocean going liner in the world.
RMS Mauretania was launched from Wallsend on Tyne on 20th September 1906 to the cheers of huge crowds.

De rederijen concurreerden tot 1900 alleen met de algemene scheepstonnage, maar toen Cunard in 1907 de RMS Lusitania in gebruik nam, begon ook de White Star line reuzeschepen te bouwen, onder andere de RMS Titanic.
Tot die schepen behoorden onder meer de RMS Mauretania (zusterschip van Lusitania) en de RMS Olympic (zusterschip van de Titanic).
In 1936 werd de RMS Queen Mary in de vaart genomen, en in 1940 de RMS Queen Elizabeth, het grootste schip van die tijd.
