The International Mercantile Marine Company (IMM), originally referred to as the International Navigation Company, was a shipping trust created in the early 20th century with the objective of monopolizing maritime commerce. It was established by notable figures in the shipping industry, including Clement Griscom of the American Line and Red Star Line, Bernard N. Baker of the Atlantic Transport Line, J. Bruce Ismay of the White Star Line, and John Ellerman of the Leyland Line. The trust received substantial financial backing from J.P. Morgan & Co., led by financier J.P. Morgan. IMM also upheld profit-sharing agreements with the German shipping companies Hamburg-Amerika Line and North German Lloyd Line. The establishment of IMM raised concerns within the British shipping sector, prompting a notable reaction: the British government provided subsidies to the Cunard Line for the construction of the RMS Lusitania and RMS Mauretania, with the intention of countering IMM's influence. Since 1902, the International Mercantile Marine Company (IMM) had an arrangement with James Pirrie, the chairman of Harland & Wolff and a prominent figure in the management of the White Star Line, to ensure that all its vessels were built by Harland & Wolff. This partnership guaranteed that IMM's fleet was consistently constructed by the esteemed shipyard. Furthermore, IMM implemented a strategy of reallocating ships among its various lines. For instance, the SS Belgic, originally designed for the White Star Line, was subsequently transferred to the Red Star Line and renamed SS Belgenland in 1914. Likewise, the Regina was rebranded as the Westernland. This approach enabled IMM to sustain a daily shipping schedule from the United Kingdom and offered passengers the convenience of transferring tickets between different vessels within the company's fleet. Following the incorporation of the Atlantic Transport Line into IMM, Bernard N. Baker stepped down from his position at the Atlantic Transport Line and was succeeded by Philip Franklin, who later became vice president of IMM. Additionally, Joseph Bruce Ismay, the president of the White Star Line, took over from Clement Griscom as president of IMM in 1904. Before the tragedy of the Titanic, plans were already in place for J. Bruce Ismay to resign from his position as president of the International Mercantile Marine Company (IMM). He was succeeded by Harold Sanderson in 1913. J.P. Morgan passed away on March 31, 1913. After a period of receivership in 1915-16, Sanderson was replaced by Philip Franklin, w Item ordered may not be exact piece shown. All original and authentic.
