  About ship models: White Sails
The characteristics of a good ship model are quite subjective, however, the following is a comprehensive list of what we believe are the defining traits that all period model ships should have to be classified as a quality ship model.
Ship models can be made in a variety of materials such as wood, resin, plastic, plaster, precious and base metals, crystal, glass and even paper.
White Sails is proud to include among its master modelers some of the world's most experienced professionals in the industry.

  The WHITE ROSE
The White Rose had a lengthy and adventurous passage, first it sailed from London on the 14th February 1875, to Plymouth to pick up her 166 passengers, then on the 14th April, the captain was found dead in his bunk (apoplexy stroke).
The ship hit rough weather, as she had a lot of railway material in her hold, it constantly moved during the rough weather which was encountered during the voyage, also the mast was damaged.
The white Rose, a sister ship to the Tintern Abbey, was built in Quebec in 1874, and was on her maiden voyage.

The White Ship was a 12th century ship that sank in the English Channel near the Normandy coast, on November 25, 1120.
The various stories surrounding its loss include a drinking binge by the crew and passengers and mention that priests were not allowed on board to bless the ship in the customary manner.
If so, that was ironic, since, as a direct result of William's death, Stephen would later usurp the throne, resulting in the period known as the Anarchy.

 The History of the White Star Line and the
White Star's mortgages were assumed by the Royal Bank of Liverpool, but in October of 1867 this bank was also closed down, revealing a debt of £527,000 which the line owed.
First class accommodations on the new ships were placed amidships (center of the ship) unlike competitive ships that had them located at the stern where engine noise and vibration were bothersome.
Despite surviving the loss of several of its ships either due to war or disaster, even with IMM's rocky financial status throughout the years, White Star was still one of the favorites for the passenger trade.
