EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the luxurious Turkish bath aboard the RMS Olympic, a sister ship to the infamous Titanic and Britannic. The image showcases the cooling room of this opulent facility, inviting us to imagine ourselves indulging in ultimate relaxation amidst the grandeur of early 20th-century maritime travel. Commissioned by the White Star Line, also known as the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, this Bedford Lemere and Company photograph offers a glimpse into an era when ocean liners were not just means of transportation but floating palaces designed for utmost comfort and elegance. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this Turkish bath's design - from its ornate archways and intricately tiled floors to its plush seating areas beckoning passengers to unwind after their voyage. It is believed that this photograph was taken at Southampton docks, where these majestic ships would embark on their transatlantic journeys. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by Historic England Archive, we are reminded of a time when sea travel was synonymous with sophistication and adventure. This remarkable image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the architectural beauty of these magnificent vessels and the sheer luxury experienced by those fortunate enough to sail aboard them.
