== Ballin and the Great Naval Race == |
|||
If you are interested in more information about Ballin and the race for sea going super liners check of the book “Seize the Trident” an excellent read. |

It is a good read, but... Unfortunately, it relies mostly on secondary sources and leaves out major developments in the design of the Atlantic liner. Some of them left out developments are somewhat astounding. Also, the author makes frequent errors. At one point he mentions the Mauritania, I think it was, and the "ancient" Celtic in the same sentence. The problem is the Celtic was only two years older. Finally, his foot noting leaves a lot to be desired. It's minimal, at best, and not in the accepted "Chicago"style for a book about history. The book is interesting, but not something I would use as a reliable source. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Thalomen|Thalomen]] ([[User talk:Thalomen|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Thalomen|contribs]]) 03:18, 30 October 2013 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

The name's "Ballin", not "Ballen"...

Ballin family
Following the death of Albert Ballin did his family continue to manage any part of the company? According to one report Albert had a direct line to the Kaiser, what was the significance of this? What became of the Ballin family? When did he first meet the Kaiser? Were any of the Ballin family included in the Royal Court? One report suggests that the Empress was hostile to Albert, was this for any particular reason? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Celcom (talk • contribs) 14:13, 16 December 2006 (UTC).

Citations needed
Most of the assertions here are probably sourced in the two biographies. Simply listing the biographies does not provide sufficient verifiability. Each fact or group of related facts need to be backed up with a particular source with page numbers. The reader should not be required to read both biographies to verify the facts here.

Birthplace
Albert Ballin's father was from what is now Denmark but had moved to Altona which while now part of Hamburg was then part of Gluckstadt then part of the Kingdom of Denmark. I have been told Albert Ballin by a former Hamburg Amerika was born in Altona in 1857 and Gluckstadt was acquired Prussia in 1864.RichardBond (talk) 03:13, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
