William Henry Harrison was J. Bruce Ismay's secretary aboard the RMS Titanic. Harrison was from Wallsey, Merseyside, England. He boarded in Southampton with Ismay and they were bound for New York City. He was either 39 or 40 years old when he died, though his body was recovered from the waters. He was buried in Nova Scotia and was survived by his widow, Anne.
J. Bruce Ismay was the chairman and managing director of the White Star Line and was the highest-ranking White Star official that survived the sinking of the Titanic. He pushed Captain Edward Smith for a speed test, as it was the Titanic's maiden voyage. Despite the "women and children first" rule onboard the ship, he managed to find a seat in a lifeboat and was one of 712 survivors out of the 2,208 total passengers and crew. He was criticized for the rest of his life by the British and American press.

Was it Bruce Ismays fault that the rivets of the Titanic were cheap?
When buying iron for the Titanic's rivets, the company ordered No. 3 bar, known at the time as "best" - not No. 4, known as "best-best". Records show that shipbuilders of the day typically used No. 4 iron for anchors, chains and rivets. Many of the rivets studied by the scientists - recovered from the Titanic's hull two miles down in the North Atlantic were found to be riddled with high concentrations of slag. This is a glassy like residue of smelting, slag can make rivets brittle and prone to fracture as it causes small pockets which are brittle. There are still reports (as complied by the UKs BBC) that there was actually a fire in the coal bunkers in the forward boiler room which was burning to such a degree that this may have added to the issue of metal fatigue. In their report the BBC found notes from firemen of the time at the dock that the hull glowed as the internal heat increased. Stokers were, until disembark time trying to shove out the hot coals to bring down the temperature. The enquiry post accident was, it is claim told to ignore this as it did not represent the instances of the collision
