The Olympic, a sister ship to the ill-fated Titanic and Britannic, is seen here on the Boat Deck at Southampton docks. Commissioned by the White Star Line, also known as the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, this photograph was taken by the renowned Bedford Lemere and Company. The first class entrance is a testament to the opulence and luxury that defined ocean liner travel during this era. The ornate architectural details, from the intricately carved wooden panels to the grand staircase, exude an air of sophistication and grandeur. The polished brass railings and gleaming white paint add to the overall sense of refinement. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of transatlantic travel during the early 20th century.
