EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage photograph by Bernard Alfieri, we witness the majestic White Star Line liner RMS Olympic undergoing her annual refit at Southampton docks circa November 1932. Serving as the sister ship to the ill-fated Titanic, the RMS Olympic stands tall with workmen diligently attending to her iconic funnels. The image showcases a mesmerizing blend of industry and artistry as skilled painters meticulously apply fresh coats of paint using bosun chairs suspended from rigging. The vibrant colors create a striking pattern against the backdrop of Southampton's bustling dockyard, symbolizing both pride and attention to detail. As health and safety measures were still evolving during this era, one cannot help but marvel at the bravery exhibited by these workers who fearlessly balanced themselves on narrow platforms high above ground. Their dedication is evident in every stroke of their brushes, ensuring that the RMS Olympic maintains her regal appearance. This snapshot transports us back to an era when shipbuilding was not only a profession but also an art form. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship that brought forth these magnificent vessels which traversed vast oceans with grace and elegance. Bernard Alfieri's skillful composition captures not just a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions tied to nostalgia for an age gone by. This print is more than just a visual representation; it encapsulates history itself.
