EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the luxurious Lounge of RMS Olympic, a majestic ship that once sailed the seas under the White Star Line. As we gaze upon this snapshot from 1920-21, we are transported to an era of opulence and grandeur. The Lounge, with its exquisite furnishings and elegant decor, exudes an air of sophistication. The carefully crafted wooden panels line the walls while plush armchairs invite passengers to relax in style. The room is bathed in soft light streaming through large windows, offering a glimpse into the world outside. RMS Olympic was not just any ordinary vessel; it was the sister ship to both Titanic and Britannic. This connection adds a layer of historical significance to this photograph as it reminds us of their shared legacy on the high seas. Commissioned by White Star Line (also known as Oceanic Steam Navigation Company), this image captures a moment frozen in time at Southampton docks. It serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating these magnificent liners. As we admire this remarkable piece from Historic England Archive's collection, we can't help but imagine ourselves aboard RMS Olympic, experiencing life on board during its heyday. It is truly an evocative reminder of our maritime history and serves as a window into a bygone era filled with elegance and adventure.
