I am into history, whether it be on warfare or maritime disasters. Also a Titanic enthusiast excited for Titanic Honor and Glory.

J Bruce Ismay was a very quiet man even before the Titanic. Now over 20 years after the disaster, he finds himself about to join others within the afterlife, until he is somehow whisked away to Equestria for the sake of his own personal redemption.

Armed with a small lake boat, a fishing rod, a case of clothes, and decades worth of business experience, Ismay sets off into a brand new world unsure of what to expect.

(This is not related to my current Titanic story "On a Sea of Glass... And Ponies, this is a separate story, in tribute to the most wrongly ridiculed man of the 20th century.)

Bruce Ismay, and White Star Line as a whole, have been unfairly treated by history. Whilst the losses of Titanic and Gigantic were tragic and avoidable, the line did operate some very succesful vessels, such as RMS Olympic.

Thank you for this story.

A lovely beginning, I look forward to the continuation. And it goes without saying that anything Hearst ever touched was, is, and shall ever be utterly rotten.

I enjoy writing as more of a well... gentlemen... lets put it that way. Sometimes writing a comedy can be very taxing on one's mental state as well as rationality. As I am re-writing On a Sea of Glass... And Ponies, I decided that I needed something rather... fresh... to put it in a sense, especially in order to do historical characters justice.

Titanic: Honor and Glory did a very interesting video on how many ships the White Star Line lost and even though, they technically lost over 30 during the course of the company's existence, in technical reality, only 5 were directly lost under the White Star Line during peacetime which is quite impressive. It just so happens to be that of those 5 happen to be some of the worst disasters in history.

Hearst was one to never let go of a grudge, no matter how petty it was. Hearst's essential beef with Ismay was that when Ismay was working in the White Star office when he was in his 20s, the normally quiet man refused to admit or be interviewed by Hearst's reporters. Stupid... but look where it got them both... It truly is saddening.

I hope you find the next chapter as good as the first.

Especially considering the Titanic is the worst Peacetime maritime disaster in British history.

But lessons were learned.
