EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the elegance and sophistication of the "Empire" bedroom in cabin C55 on board the RMS Olympic, a masterpiece of marine engineering and design. The Olympic, built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast and launched in 1911, was the largest ship in the world at the time and a flagship of the White Star Line, also known as the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company. This image, taken by Bedford Lemere and Company, provides a glimpse into the luxurious accommodations offered to first-class passengers on this magnificent ocean liner. The "Empire" bedroom, with its white walls, ornate woodwork, and plush furnishings, exudes an air of opulence and comfort. The large, comfortable bed is dressed in crisp, white linens, while the matching bedside tables and wardrobe add to the room's sense of order and refinement. The room's windows offer a breathtaking view of the ocean, allowing passengers to take in the beauty of their surroundings from the comfort of their own cabin. The Olympic was the sister ship to the ill-fated Titanic and Britannic, and this photograph offers a reminder of the grandeur and elegance that characterized ocean travel in the early 20th century. Commissioned by the White Star Line, the photograph was likely taken at the Southampton docks before the Olympic set sail on one of its many transatlantic voyages. Today, this image is preserved in the Historic England Archive, a testament to the enduring allure of the golden age of ocean travel.
