EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the elegance and opulence of the "Louis XVI" bedroom suite in cabin C59 aboard the RMS Olympic, a masterpiece of maritime engineering and design. The Olympic, built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast, Northern Ireland, was the sister ship to the ill-fated Titanic and Britannic, and was commissioned by the White Star Line, also known as the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company. The bedroom suite, expertly photographed by Bedford Lemere and Company, showcases the luxurious accommodations offered to first-class passengers on board this magnificent liner. The ornate Louis XVI-style furnishings, with their intricate carvings and rich fabrics, exude an air of sophistication and grandeur. The room's large windows offer breathtaking views of the ocean, allowing passengers to take in the beauty of their surroundings from the comfort of their own cabin. The RMS Olympic was launched in 1911 and was the largest ship in the world at the time, measuring 882 feet in length and capable of carrying over 2,000 passengers. Despite its impressive size, the Olympic was known for its sleek design and advanced features, including a gymnasium, Turkish bath, and a grand ballroom. This photograph, taken at the Southampton docks, offers a glimpse into the world of luxury travel that was once the epitome of elegance and sophistication. The "Louis XVI" bedroom suite in cabin C59 is a testament to the White Star Line's commitment to providing its passengers with the very best in comfort and style. Today, this photograph serves as a reminder of a bygone era, when travel by sea was an adventure in and of itself, and the RMS Olympic was a symbol of progress and innovation.
