EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time in the elegant B Saloon of the RMS Olympic, a White Star Line vessel that set sail between 1920 and 1921. The Olympic, a sister ship to the ill-fated Titanic and Britannic, is seen here in all her grandeur at the Southampton docks. Commissioned by the White Star Line, also known as the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, this image was captured by the renowned Bedford Lemere and Company. The B Saloon, with its ornate decor and luxurious furnishings, was a testament to the opulence and sophistication of ocean travel during this era. Passengers could enjoy a relaxing atmosphere, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the ship's deck or the cramped quarters of the economy class. The room's high ceilings, intricate moldings, and large windows bathed in natural light created an ambiance of refinement and elegance. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when travel by sea was an experience in and of itself. The RMS Olympic, with its grandeur and luxury, represented the pinnacle of ocean liner design and set the standard for transatlantic travel in the early 20th century. This photograph, preserved by Historic England Archive, serves as a reminder of the rich maritime history of the White Star Line and the golden age of ocean travel.
